That's correct, because the optical device emulated in VPC is a CD-ROM...
No.

It's a long story, but it made sense at the time...

Message:Sure it makes sense. If you have a Vista host and a program you are using
to create content only runs on XP then why not create your content in the XP
guest and then transfer the files to the Vista host to create the media? A
very resourceful way to go.

Hello,
I just stumbled upon this very old thread but I am very interested to
find out *which methods can be used to transfer files from the virtual
machine to the host machine*.
I have tried to install USB sticks and USB hard disks, but have had no
luck. :huh:
I have also tried burning direct to CD but it was a wasted effort.
:cry:
I did manage to get net WiFi broadband connections working, but the
thought of E-mailing larger files seems highly impracticle to me.
:confused:
Surely, there *_MUST_* be an easier way ?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance that you may be able to offer
me.

If you share a drive on the host, you can access it on the guest using Windows
Networking.
Virtual PC does not support CD burning in the guest (CD drive is read-only,
regardless of the actual drive on the host).

1) Launch Virtual PC
2) Open the helpfile either by hitting F1 or through the menu
3) Search for the word 'transfer' (without quotes)
4) Read the following topics:
Copy text or graphics to or from a virtual machine
Shared folders for virtual machines
Copying text, graphics, folders and files to and from virtual machines
Sharing folders on virtual machines
For that you need to share the USB device in the host and then map a drive
to them from the guest using standard networking protocols.
The emulated optical device in a virtual machine is read-only.
See above.
