Re: XP/Vbox/Win 8.1

And just to clarify the issue I'm having right now, I can get c:
directories fine in XyWrite. What it will not give me is G: and H:
directories - - those set up by VB networking. I can CALL the files from
the command line using those drive letters, but the directory displays
are empty.

Thanks Jon,


I'll have to look into this further, when I get a chance.

Jordan--



Have you copied all your XY files into the XP mode drive? I have no
problems listing a whole directory.



In all my migrations, I've just had one big C:\xy folder with
editor.exe and all the things I've written. That went into C: for Win98
and XP.



I copied that into the C: drive of My Computer in  XP Mode. The
only thing I had to do afterward was find a way to export finished files
to Win7, with the key assignment from my previous posting.



As I understand it, XP mode thinks it's a standalone computer. It
can't find anything in Win7. But if you set it up in XP Mode exactly as
it was in a previous XP, and Xywrite can find your default directory, I
wouldn't expect any DIR problems.

This sounds like a problem I mentioned previously re XP Mode in Win
7, where I could only see three files when calling a Dir -- all of them
files pertaining to the virtual machine itself, rather than anything I
actually wanted to find.  So far, I've not been able to get to the
bottom of this.  It does seem to render having gotten the VM
functional rather moot. 


I'll have to confirm this the next time I get to work on that laptop,
but I don't think the older Windows programs I got working in this VM
suffered from this problem.

letters g: and h:). Xy4 will call up files on the shared drives if I
issue ca _filename, happening to know the filename. But it simply won't
display a directory. If I go into DOS from XyWrite, the directories
display as normal. Anyone got any ideas? (. . . can't wait for Windows
9!) - - B
