DVD Drive in XP Compatibility Mode...
I have a fresh install of Win7 Pro x64, and I have installed the
Microsoft Virtaul PC and the XP compatibility image. I have a DVD drive on the x64 platform, and the XP image says it has a DVD drive. The DVD dive in the XP image is not accessable. When I check the vmcx settings file in MS VPC, it shows that no drive is assigned to the DVD of the XP image. I made sure that the XP machine is "shut down". I went to "settings" of the XP image, and tried to assign the x64 DVD drive to the xp image DVD drive and I get the following error: "File may be in use by another process or you may not have sufficient access privilege." Since the virtual xp machine is shut down, and I am an administrator, neither should be the case. There is no lock on any of the files (at least none that I can detect). So what is goin gon here???? Any ideas of how to correct this problem??? I really need to get access to the real DVD from the virtual machine. Thanks |

DVD Drive in XP Compatibility Mode...
After much troubleshooting, I eventually had to un-install and
re-install Windows Virtual PC. Problem solved.
