Set the permission which you want and click Finish to add folder. Click Next to continue.Ĭlick on Browse and select the folder which you want to share inside your virtual machine. Select Always enabled so you don’t have to enable it every time when you power on VM.Ĭheck the Box “Map as a network drive in windows guests” Go to the Options tab and select the Shared Folders option: 3. Here you can see settings for shared folders. Choose the virtual machine and select Player > Manage > Virtual Machine Settings: 2. Select the VM on which you want to configure shared folder. So let’s see How to configure Shared Folders: Shared folder you can easily map as a network drive so that you can access the files from your host machine. Shared Folders are very useful when you are simulating virtual environment so that every time you don’t have to copy files to the virtual machine.
Under the Virtual Machine Settings, Options tab, "Shared Folders" lets me map the D: Drive as a shared folder, but from withing the VM, it appears as a network resource, with a UNC path like "\VMware\long\unc\path". I also tried a different approach using Shared Folders. The wizard steps are "Add Hard Disk", "Use A Physical Disk", select physical drive and individual partition, then check the partition corresponding to the desired D: drive.Īfter making these changes and attempting to start the VM, VMWare player gives an error about not being able to connect, and then hangs. The original system had XP on drive C: and a large data drive on D: (too large to virtualize).įrom within VMware Player (before starting the VM), I go to Virtual Machine Settings, Hardware tab. When dragging and dropping I get this message: -Cannot open file on virtual machine.
I virtualized an existing Windows XP partition using VMWare Converter, and I am running it from within a Windows 7 host. How do I share files between host and guest I have tried to access a shared folder on host, and have also tried drag-drop.
