is there a way to save a file from virtual pc?

[okron1k]

i have virtual pc 2007 installed on my vista machine. works fine. i am trying to make a slipstreamed xp disc using nlite and ryanvm.

the problem is when i get to the part where i am supposed to integrate with ryanvm, the program crashes during the process. i'm assuming it has something to do with vista.

so i have a windows xp with sp2 going in virtual pc 2007, and i had to update the framework within xp. now i'm in the process of making the disc in there. once it is complete i will have a file inside my virtual pc that i want to get onto my vista, so i can burn it and have a slipstreamed xp disc.

anybody know if there is a way to save a file from my virtual pc onto my computer?

TIA

Simply use the built in Win XP CD burning rom to burn your slipstreamed install disk to a CD. Or install your favorite flavor of Nero. I know there are some issues with trying to write a CD while in Virtual machine, but I've done it before. I'm pretty sure I just used XP's built in file burning rom while in the virtual environment.

so the virtual machine will use my burner? because in my computer, the only thing that shows up is the virtual drive that i mount iso's on to get files into the virtual pc

ahh i figured it out, by mistake that is.

while i was away from the computer.. virtual pc 2007 popped up a messege saying i haven't installed virtual pc additions. i read what it was about and thought it might help so i installed it.

once installed i can drag and drop from within the virtual machine onto my vista desktop.

problem solved!
