Hi there, I am able to choose the entire Macintosh HD but I am unable to locate where the shared directory/folder shows up in my XP partition. Might somebody give me some clues. Here are the steps I followed: ---- snip --- With your VM closed down go to Edit. Select Shared Folders. There is a blank (probably) list on the right had side with a + and - underneath. Click + and add your Mac HD. So far I have not found ANYTHING I cannot read or write mounting this way. You have access to ALL the files and folders on your hard disk. However if you have some folders you access frequently add these as well. Lastly I keep a shortcut to these shared folders on the Desktop of my XP Pro VM which makes them very easy to access. --- snip ---
