VMware file movement - how?

[Duncan Lithgow]

I should have said I'm using VMware server.

I tried this one. I had to start VMware as root to get access to the
partitions. And then I couldn't start VMware as user. Also even as root
I couldn't find the two vfat partitions I had given access to. They're
not in 'My Computer', and don't show up in the XP disc management app.
The only place I can see a reference to what I did is under 'Virtual
Machine Settings > Hardware'. Under Hard Disk there I can see a list of
partitions, the two I marked earlier are shown as R/W.

Any ideas what's going on?

That is a bit of an overkill I think. I'm sure it works, but I shouldn't
need that level of complexity (I hope).

I didn't find out. I can't find any reference anywhere to shared folders. Can someone give some more specific instructions?

Thanks all for your help. Duncan
