mazmac24 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Why on Microft VM 2004, I cna't use usb's. I was wondering if that is normal or I can do something about it. I have Windows XP Pro installed on the vm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jool Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 You can't use them because it just isn't supported. The only usb devices that work are keyboards and mice and those are virtualized as PS/2 devices. It might change in the next version but currently you can't do anything about it. That is unless you switch to a mac since I heard that VPC for mac does virtualize USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazmac24 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 You know where I can get mac os or do you mean the actual mac machine? I have no way of getting files over to the vm. Will burning on a cd get it over to vm? If I put the files onto a cd, will it read on the vm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 You know where I can get mac os or do you mean the actual mac machine? Don't ask this in the forum, its warez. If you want OSX you need to buy a Mac, or sit down and think about the usual sources. I have no way of getting files over to the vm. Will burning on a cd get it over to vm? If I put the files onto a cd, will it read on the vm? Setup samba/file and printer sharing. Setup a FTP server. If its windows, install the MS VPC tools, this allows drag&drop support. Make an iso and use daemon tools/capture the iso with MS VPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I put the files onto a cd, will it read on the vm? Just use SSH. WinSCP is a SFTP and SCP client for Windows using SSH. Its main function is secure copying of files between a local and a remote computer. Beyond this basic function, WinSCP manages some other actions with files. Plugin to FAR manager is available too. http://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jool Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yeah I meant the Virtual PC running under Mac OS, not running Mac OS inside the VPC. And the VPC extensions is definitely the easiest way of transferring files to the virtual machine. If it isn't windows making isos is probably the next easiest way, setting up servers of different kinds just to get files transferred seems like overkill.
