Noob question: how to move a file to a virtual machine to BACK?

I have an old piece of software that I still need to run under DOS. (Believe it or not).  I managed to create a virtual machine with 6.22 running BACK.  AND, a few months ago, I managed to move files on the disk "C:".  But, it seems to me have forgotten one, and for the life of me I don't remember how I moved the files.

So, I have a file on the host computer that I need to pass to the guest computer.  I traced the virtual disk to a drive letter on the host computer, but whenever I try to move my file, I get an error.

What is the right way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Another easy way is to write the missing files in an iso and iso power of the virtual machine

probably even easier, then using flps - like everyine is an application that can write CDs so creating isos is trivial

  • How to move the FILE from one place to another and keep "Indexing" have to move to the unknown location so you can't discover its full file path? Windows instructions provide information wrong re: how to do this!

    Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.

  • How to move a file to the rear using the Terminal

    Hello world

    I just recently started to learn how to use the terminal in OS X I learned how to move files from one directory to another, but I don't know how to move a file back again. Here is an example:

    (I'm already in the Desktop directory) In my office, I have a folder named "music" and a file called "algo.rtf". In order to move the "algo.rtf" file in the "music" folder, I type the following command: "musica algo.rtf mv / '. That works perfectly fine, when I check, the file is now in the new folder.

    But what happens if I want to move the file "algo.rtf" which is now in "musica" on the desktop? I can't understand. I tried the following:

    'cd musica' (so now I'm in the folder where the file is) and from there I typed: "mv algo.rtf Desktop /" (but then it is said; no such directory not found)

    I understand that he says no "found" because it is looking for a folder named "Desktop" in the folder named "music" and this is why it does not work.

    But that still doesn't help me much because I still don't know how to bring it back to "Desktop". If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very happy for your response!

    Thank you.

    Use:

    MV algo.rtf...

  • Path to the file on the virtual machine

    Hi people

    I am aware of VMRUN and would use call programs on the virtual computer and move files between the host and the guest.  I don't know exactly what it does good, nor how these virtual machines are actually structured, so I would like someone to clarify for me if it is even possible to have a host path to a file on the client VM.

    For example, I use scripts from my Mac that do a lot of editing on the side of the virtual Windows machine - is there is a way, I can use to refer to and modify a file on the virtual machine without using VMRUN.

    Thank you very much!

    Mirroing is a little difficult, I don't think that anything that is either duplicated with shared folders.  What happens is the Windows to the Documents, music, path is set to a UNC path (vmware-host\), which is served by the VMware HGFS file system, a mechanism for sharing private with OS X.  In OS X, just the files live in any directory is shared.  But that's what you say, a place with several shared paths.

    For SMB sharing, sharing so once mounted on your Mac, OS X uses a SMB client to Yes go on the network to access files in your guest VM files standard Windows.  All traffic is host only, unless the virtual machine is filled and you use the Wifi connection, in which case the traffic can "bounce" the point of wireless as a jump.  There are ways to optimize the network path, so all traffic is strictly host only.

    I have not benchmarked HGFS v. SMB, but there is a "tax" anyway compared to the opening of the VM file on its file system local.  For your use case, it is probably useful to check the two options.

  • Is it necessary that the guest OS to support SSD if the file of the virtual machine is placed on an SSD?

    Dear,

    I have a plan to set up a file of the virtual machine on an SSD. The host system is windows 10 (on an other SSD, I'll use 2 SSD), it should support the SSD very well.  Then comes the question: should I also install an OS that needs support also guest SSD?

    My opinion is it does not matter since the disk i/o operation is made by host operating system, it is the host operating system which finally determin whick block data will be published (optimization of the disk).

    Am I wrong? Thank you.

    Sorry for the enigmatic answer...

    In your case, the answer is Yes: he cares about the type of media, while the virtual disk is a vmdk (virtual material treaty) and placed in an SSD.

    There are a few cases where you might use a physical disk directly to the virtual machine (called peripheral raw disk or RDM in vSphere environment).

  • How long does take to Clean Up Virtual Machine and recover disk space?  Take a long time.

    I just upgraded from Fusion 4 to 6.  Before converting my GB 131 VM version 6 I did a Clean Up because he says I have 9 GB of usable space.  I don't know how long it takes to run.  He has worked for more than 20 minutes, but there seems to be no way to determine if something is happening.  It simply shows a window 'Reclaiming Disk Space... "with no way to cancel out.  The size of the file and the date/time of the VM file does not change.  Activity monitor shows between 3% and 5% of the CPU with 13 to 15 of son used.

    I saved the file to the virtual machine.

    Thanks WoodyZ.  No additional help is needed.  I now have the answer.  It took about an hour and a half to reclaim the space.  All right and that patience is a virtue.  (Windows 7-64) virtual machine starts very well.  I hope this helps other post to know that it can take some time.  It would be nice if there was a progress meter or something to indicate something constructive.

  • Files on a virtual machine

    Hey guys,.

    which is the best way to get local files on my virtual machine, which runs on a virtual network. If you cannot go to RDP on the virtual machine.

    I have no idea

    Gruss Daniel

    If you are using a virtual network and it does not fill to the physical network... which makes it rather difficult.

    1. you can make an ISO image and load that the Media Lab Manager Store.

    2. connect virtual and physical memory, then use CIFS/Samba or other desired method.

    There is not much else.

    Kind regards

  • You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI?

    You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI? How?

    SAs desire a lead time of 10 seconds through the virtual company composed of several VCs with multiple data centers and clusters.

    Known: we can edit the .vmx file and add: bios.bootDelay = "10000" this adds stunted ms 10000 (10 seconds) when starting

    Known: we may have to re-register or some other mechanism to apply the changes to the start on the VMS settings

    Has anyone tried to make a change of large company to bootDelay on VMS? Any help?

    The script below will do what you want. Have fun.

  • Copying a file to a virtual machine

    Hello


    I have a script which customizes the VMS in a .csv file (attached).

    The logic is as follows:

    Change memory,

    change vcpus,

    edit notes,

    change the name of the network (VLAN),

    network settings,

    Set the static IP address,

    Set the hard disk size,

    and finally:

    extend your hard drive.

    I use the invoke-script command to extend the drive after it has been expanded through VMware.  To do this, I use the following syntax:

    xcopy $installdir\extddisk.txt \\$target\c$temp\/f

    invoke VMscript VM - $VM.name - ScriptText "diskpart /S c:\temp\extdisk.txt" - Hostuser $HostUser - HostPassword $HostPass - GuestUser - GuestUser - GuestPassword $GuestPass

    The problem is that, since the disc is developing as a last step.  If the virtual machine is being to be deployed to a VIRTUAL LAN that is not accessible (for example a LAN VIRTUAL DMZ) so I won't be able to copy the extdisk.txt file that depends on the diskpart command.  Is there another way I can transfer this file to the virtual machine directly?

    The content of the file is extremely simple, it is said:

    Rescan

    Select volume 2

    extend

    Since the file is so simple can I I could even just create it on the server before you delete the command has run successfully?

    You can use the Copy-VMGuestFile cmdlet to copy the file.

    If Invoke-VMScript works, that should work as well, it uses the same concept and VMware tools.
