win 98 se under Xp using MS virtual pc 2007
From "Gary S. Terhune" none, in microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion on
Tue, 10 Jun 2008 08:06:58 -0700 : Not at the moment. Do you have a problem? I have a question. Actual several questions. To set up the scenario: I have a physical XP Pro machine, it has two separate hard disks, C and D. On physical drive D, I have two virtual machines. One is XP (not relevant here) and one is Win98 SE. The two virtual machines share a folder (VMA is installed on both) It is known to both as "drive Z". As I described this elsewhere.......... On the win 98 virtual machine. I noticed that MSINFO32, run from the virtual machine said "drive Z" was formatted FAT32 (It's really NTFS) and it was the remaining size of my real D disk. What it really is, is a single subdirectory on my real XP D drive, defined as a "shared folder" through which I can have one machine communicate with the other. (You have to install "Virtual Machine Additions" for that) The virtual C drive is not as big as shown either. It is dynamic and expands as necessary *until* it gets to that size. So far as i know, virtual drive C really is formatted as FAT32. At least I got the "formatting drive C" and increasing percentage on install. BUT, since it is dynamic and expanding, how could it be reformatted space? I could understand static space being reformatted -- it's just a file to XP. Install also claimed to have set up a partition on the C virtual disk.....that would be static space, except it is dynamic. How can that be? FACE |

"As described elsewhere"... Where? You mean in this same thread, or really
elsewhere? Don't know that you'll get your answer here. Have you tried the NG /microsoft.public.virtualpc But to me it's simple -- you're dealing with "virtualness" here, and your tools in Win98 aren't likely to read everything the way it really is, only the way it is shown to be by VPC. FWIW, it's a simple job to resize partitions, especially to expand them. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com "FACE" wrote in message ... From "Gary S.

I'm with Gary on this. You are dealing with virtual rather than real so who
knows--maybe the folks hanging around in the virtualpc newsgroup? The virtual drive has to be fat 32 since W98SE does not recognize NTFS. It cannot remain the same size as it has to have the ability to expand (swap file, program additions, etc.) so maybe that accounts for the disparity in sizes. I'm afraid your virtual questions are too technical for me. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2008 "FACE" wrote in message ...

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 09:21:55 -0700 : "As described elsewhere"... Where? You mean in this same thread, or really elsewhere? I meant *really* elsewhere............ (Which is why it is written more informally.) Don't know that you'll get your answer here. Have you tried the NG /microsoft.public.virtualpc I looked for "virtual" in my groups list and did not find it. I have asked the newsgroups wrangler to add it. I see that it is on Motzarella and i have subscribed there. But to me it's simple -- you're dealing with "virtualness" here, and your tools in Win98 aren't likely to read everything the way it really is, only the way it is shown to be by VPC. I agree that acceptance is simple. :-) FWIW, it's a simple job to resize partitions, especially to expand them. I figured that might be happening............ Thanks, FACE |
