Does this mean that you've tried it with MS-DOS, and it worked as you expect it to work with MS-DOS; but when you do exactly the same thing using FreeDOS it doesn't work?
Yes. Actually I have tried the following ways with the following results: 1) MSDOS 6.22 -> Successfull 2) MSDOS 7.1 -> Error Message 3) FreeDOS 1.4 -> Error Message 4) FreeDOS testing (multiple versions) -> Error Message It's open source, but I think first you need to answer my question. No. Virtual PC 2007 is similiar to VirtualBox as It allow you to install multiple guest operating systems originally created by Connectix as a paid product before acquired by Microsoft and faded out after Windows 7 which used it to run XP as a guest. fShare is added DOS software (there are others DOS items included) that allows you to add folders from Windows to the virtual machine so you can xfer files back and forth. There are (of course) other ways to transfer files, but folder sharing is the easiest way when it works as expected. I use both virual floppies and .iso files when all else fails.
