I am running XP with 4 HDDs (all NTFS).
I have loaded Parallels Worksation and got the MS DOS 6.22 OS workin.
BUT how do you access a HDD?
when in Dos I type c: or d: .... and nothing
do I have to create a partition etc?
is there a problem because the .hdd file resides on a NTFS drive?

Another question:
Assuming I get the OS accessing a hdd. Is it easy enough transfering files between the physical hdd and the virtual hdd?

 

When your working with virtual machine you deal with virtual hard disk which actually resides in your primary OS file system as normal file with *.hdd extension. In guest DOS you'll be able to see content of this virtual disk - not primary disk.

To share your files between primary OS and guest OS you could use floppy, CD or network share (and shared folder in OS X version).
