XP Mode

[Jan]

I'm running XP mode on a windows 7 laptop. I have an old program on a flash
drive I would like to add to my XP mode screen but I can't seem to access
the flash drive when in XP mode. How can I load the program?

Copy the program to the Win7 Desktop. Open XP Mode and click on My Computer.
Click on the Win7 C Drive | Users | Your User Name Folder | Desktop. Drag it
over to the XP Desktop and go from there.

The flash drive should show up with its own drive letter, if it shows up
under the Windows 7 host. Try going into XP's Disk Management and see if
it sees the flash drive.

Of course, the easiest thing to do is just transfer the contents of the
flash drive to another drive that XP does see.

When you select Windows Virtual PC from the Windows 7 Start Menu, you should
be able to open a folder called Virtual Meachine (or mabye you've pinned XP
Mode). However you get there, right click on XP Mode and select Settings.
Down near the bottom select Integration features. Along with the drives you
want to share, check "Drives I plug in later." That just worked for me. I
was able to view the contents of a USB flash drive from Windows XP.
