Cannot see host drives from within guest OS

My host PC is Win7 64-bit, and guest PC is Win7 32-bit. I've installed and enabled Integration Services and ticked the relevant resource sharing options under "Integration features". Should I expect to see the host's drives appear in the guest's
Windows Explorer? Or am I missing something?

>I guess I was expecting VPC to work like Remote Desktop, where you would automatically see the host drives listed in Windows Explorer ("C on hostname", "D on hostname", etc).
It really should, but there's a RDP update that messes up this
functionality.
>Edit 2: I've just set up a mapped drive, but it seems very unreliable. It gets slower and slower as I "drill down" through folders on the host, and right-clicking a file to copy it to the guest causes Windows Explorer to hang, and never
shows the context menu. I've tried uninstalling IS from the guest and re-installing/enabling it, but it made no difference. Thoughts?
Turn of all TCP and UDP offloading in the NIC properties on the host. Not
all NIC's are fully compatible on that feature.

  • Cannot see see host drives, Win 7 guest on Virtual PC Win 7 host

    I have Virtual PC running on Windows 7 Enterprise with a Win 7 guest OS and integration features enabled (all drives are selected), as per instructions here:
    http : / / technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee449412(v=ws.10).aspx
    However after restarting the VM it still does not work, I cannot see the host drives in the VM.  How can I get this to work?

    Here's a link to a thread about the same problem.  There seems to be a couple of fixes, and one is to uninstall an RDP update (KB2592687), and another is a list of 8 steps that seems to resolve the issue.  I'd suggest trying the
    8 steps first because then you'll have all the updates and a working VM if it works.

    And the eight steps from
    Holmp_
    I was able to get it working:
    Go to Settings for the Windows XP Mode VM.
    Integration Settings
    Uncheck Drives.
    Login to the VM and Shut Down the Guest OS.
    Boot it back up and login.
    Recheck Drives in Integration Settings.
    Shut Down the Guest OS again.
    Boot it back up and it should be working.
    Hope this helps.

  • Start host process from within guest OS

    I am using VMWare Workstation 10.
    Some of my vm's are dedicated to compiling code using CruiseControl.NET.
    What I am attempting to do is add a step that automates testing a completed setup on several clean virtual machines. From what I can see, the guest OS will be required to 'announce' to the host OS that a build has completed and then launch a process to revert the virtual machines, start the virtual machines and then launch a process that does the following:
    Copy the setup.exe from a known location to a directory on the virtual machine
    Launch the setup.exe with parameters from a command line
    Wait for setup.exe to finish
    Launch an automated testing tool to validate basic functionality of the application.
    Wait for automated testing to complete
    Shut down the virtual machines
    Wait for next successful build
    I am attempting to work on this problem using vmrun.exe within a powershell script. With this script I can successfully revert virtual machines, start and stop virtual machines.
    What I am trying to work out is how to pass data from CruiseControl.net in the guest operating system to the host operating system. So I am turning to this community to see if anyone here has any ideas?
    I have not read of any ideas of communication from the guest to the host while there is a 'host' <yeah, pun is intended> of information of sending info from the host to the guest. Note that the guest OS does not have VMWare Workstation installed, nor is it desirable to do this.
    My initial thoughts, even as I write this question, is that all of the guest OS build machines map a drive to the host. At the end of of a successful build the setup is copied to a directory and a sentinel file is updated with information. The host OS will have CruiseControl.net installed and will monitor for file changes for the sentinel file. When changed then it will start the automated testing process.
    Is there a better way to accomplish this goal?
    I appreciate any suggestions.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Lee | Release Engineer

  • Accessing VirtualBox host drive from IIS guest OS

    Hi there,
    I have a setup with Windows 7 as the host OS that is running VirtualBox (4.2.18). The guest I am running is using Windows Server 2012 as the OS. The guest OS has its own domain, completely separate from the host.
    For development purposes I want to configure a dev web app that pulls its files from the host and runs them in an IIS process within the guest. How do I proceed?
    I really would like to use the VirtualBox's UNC path \\vboxsrv\d_drive but I am getting the following error from IIS:
    HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
    The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
    One solution as a workaround that I have found is creating a new shared drive, e.g. d$ on the host, add an account (e.g. "virtualbox") on host and guest, and configure this account as the apppool-account and as the connection-account with cleartext
    credentials to the physical path of the webapp. This is a lot of work. With this setup I experience delays of 5 seconds, that I guess are due to the authentication that is always taking its time.

    Hi,
    It seems like that the user account you're using for your app pool doesn't have rights to the web site directory, so it can't read config from there.  Check the app pool and see what user it is configured to run as.  Check the directory and see
    if that user has appropriate rights to it.  While you're at it, check the event log and see if IIS logged any more detailed diagnostic information there.
    Please post in the IIS forum for further analysis:

  • Cannot See Leopard Drive from OS 9

    I have a G4MDD running OS 9.2.2 and Tiger on two partitions of one drive and Leopard on the other drive. In the Startup Disk list on OS 9 I can see Tiger but not Leopard. So to reboot from OS 9 to Leopard I have to use the Option Key to bring up all drives, a slow and tedious process. How can I make Leopard show up in the OS 9 Startup Disk list so that I can directly reboot fro OS 9 to Leopard?

    Apple System profiler under Mac OS X will show whether Mac OS 9 drivers are installed on a drive. If no OS 9 drivers are installed, it may not be visible in OS 9.
    This probably does not apply to you, but while we are on the subject I want to mention that you may also need the latest version of Startup Disk Control Panel:
    Mac OS X, Mac OS 9: Use Current Startup Disk Control Panel or Mac OS 9.2.2

  • Clone a Mac Partition to an External Drive from within Windows 7 Bootcamp?

    Anyone know if it is possible to clone the mac os x partition to an external drive from within Windows 7 bootcamp? I (like a few others) had a problem with the latest 10.6.3 update and I cannot boot into the mac partition but I can access it via bootcamp so I was thinking about trying to clone it to an external drive and then boot from the new clone and see if that works.
    Appreciate your comments.

    setup a 30GB partition on an external drive, along with a partition of 150% the size of your Mac OS X volume -- or larger.
    Install OS X to 30GB.
    While booted from DVD, before you install, you'll need to go to Utility Menu => Disk Utility to do the partitoning. While there, in DU see if you can repair your system.
    And where is your TimeMachine or clone backup? The "Step #1: Backup before beginning your Boot Camp project."?
    No way to backup or clone from within Windows, though you may be able to write to NTFS backup volume, UNLESS you bought MacDrive8 which allows read AND write to HFS+ from within Windows.

  • Querying free space on RDBMS server's drive from within the RDBMS?

    Hi,
    I would like to query free space on a certain drive of the RDBMS
    host mashine from within the RDBMS. Is this feasable?
    TIA,
    Tamas Szecsy

    Depends on the OS and what type of object you are querying from.
    if in Sql*plus you can use the 'host' command to get into the
    shell and execute OS commands (bdf on HP-UX for example). I've
    never seen an Oracle package that queries that sort of
    information.

  • Installing Oracle ODBC driver from within another installation

    My application requires ODBC driver. Is it possible/recommended
    to install the driver from within my installation program (other
    than invokig the ODBC's setup program)? If so, what are the
    files that need to be installed, the registry entries that need
    to be updated and other activities perfromed?
    Thanks
    Michael

    In order for the ODBC driver to function properly, the Oracle
    client must have been installed on the user's machine. If the
    Oracle client has been successfully installed, users will have
    the Oracle ODBC driver.
    Since the Oracle client install is very large as installers
    go, you probably don't want to package this with your app. In
    addition, the Oracle client installation is pretty significant
    in terms of what it does, so you definitely don't want to try to
    replicate that work in your installer.

  • I cannot see existing DTP from RSA1 / Datasources.

    I cannot see existing DTP from RSA1 / Datasources menu.  I can only see the master data (text,attr,hier) loads.    To get to the DTP I must search under InfoProvider but that doesn't show everything that is in the system.  What role or security assignment do you think I am missing. My co-workers have the same SAP roles and can see the DTPs. Help! I need this info so I can guide Tech Support. Thanks for all your help in advance.

    Hi,
    You can find out your DTP in infoprovider tree as well.
    For that go to the data target for which this DTP is created.
    In case of master data onfo objects locate that info object in infoprovider tree.
    Drill it down then you can see its hierarchies, Attributes and Text as child nodes
    Drill down any of these to see transformations or transfer rules.
    Agan drill down the transformation to see the DTP.
    Note: There is no such security restriction by which you can not even see the DTP in RSA1 tree.

  • Cannot see hard drives on airport extreme

    Recently I cannot see hard drives on the network that are connected through Airport Extreme . The airport Extreme can see the drives, but the network cannot. I have not changed any settings that I know of. Only a reset of my macbook pro running Mavericks allows me to gives me access to the drives. Airport utility 6.3.2

    +I will check when I get home. How do I do that?+
    Connect the drive directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Then open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Click on the drive in left hand panel and look for information at the bottom of the window about the disk
    Your drive may be formatted as Windows NFTS. If that's the case, you will need to reformat the drive to work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. Be sure to copy any data that you need to another drive (maybe twice to be sure) before you do this as the reformat will erase all data on the drive.
    When you are ready, click the Erase tab and then select MS-DOS (FAT) as the format so both PCs and Macs will be able to read the files.
    Then copy a small test file back over to the FAT drive and plug the drive into the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Restart everything on your network starting with the modem first, then device attached to the modem, etc.
    On you Mac, open Macintosh HD and check to see if your AirPort Extreme icon appears under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window. If so, click the icon and folder will appear to the right representing your drive. Double click this folder to reveal the contents and mount the drive on your desktop. You should see your test file. Make sure it is operable..music plays, video works, etc.
    Sorry, I haven't used Windows in 3-4 years and cannot remember how to access drives, but I would start with My Computer and start poking around. You want to verify that your PC can access and play the files as well.
    If everything is OK,you can copy all your backup files back onto the USB drive attached to the AirPort Extreme. Keep the extra backup copy handy for awhile, just in case as well.
