Googling your error message, I found several sites that suggest you didn't set up folder sharing on the VirtualPC side of things. That actually makes more sense, given the error message is "folder sharing on this host is not allowed" (and with virtual machines: "host" is the virtual machine software, like VirtualPC .. "guest" is the operating system that you run inside it) So you should look again at your VirtualPC configuration. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
