The whole point of virtualization is to create "virtual machines". Each guest is, theoretically, its own entity. Each guest, regardless of O/S, has it's own bootloader, background processes, services, and programs. Virtual drives are totally distinct from the host - and guests cannot directly access the host drives (unless you go out of your way to hack it which is not recommended).
The only way a guest can use a "service" from the host is via some sort of direct exposure - generally through networking. So whether or not the host uses any kind of encryption, or special driver, or alternative technology to access a drive is totally irrelevant and invisible to how a guest does so. -- Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
