    Hello Huubke
    Did you try to connect your usb-drive with Win 2000 installed on PC or on Bootcamp?

    You can share your usb hard drive.
    To do what you should switch off your Guest OS.
    After that please open Shared Folder Options in the Configuration Editor and specify the drive you want to share with Guest OS. After making changes in Configuration Editor switch on your Guest OS.
    You can see your shared folder’ icon on your desktop in Guest OS.

    Managed to do all steps, but no desktop icon appears in guest OS (XP)?
    Mac had Drive plugged when I added drive AND when I restarted VMsession


    Is there some order in turning on Mac-Drive-VMware?
