I'm running IIS7 (Vista x86) virtual machine (Virtual PC 2007 SP1) on Vista x64.
I want to set the server root on a physical disk outside the virtual machine but having problems.
I have created a shared folder in the virtual machine which contains the server root "drive S:" on the host (virtual machine and host are same system).
(UAC=off on both the virtual machine and the host)
To set a site root folder in IIS Manager I can browse to the shared folder "Network Drive (S" which I can select but it just does not work.
Network connections are disabled on the virtual machine but I do have installed Virtual machine additions.
I also tried to create a virtual hard disk linked to a physical hard disk which failed and returned the following error:
"Error - Virtual PC
Linked Virtual Hard Disk cannot be attached to a virtual machine.
This is a linked virtual hard disk, or a differencing virtual hard disk to a linked virtual hard disk. Linked virtual hard disks can not be attached to virtual machine."
How to configure?
Thanks in advance.
