[CentOS-virt] Accessing NTFS on host from XP/Win7 VM
Greetings, I have installed Centos 6.3 recently on bare metal (as dual boot with win 7) and want to access the existing NTFS through XP Guest. SELinux is enforcing and VM network is NAT. Google confused me more that educating me -- maybe I could not cobble up the right phrase. Any help appreciated. TIA It is my only system at home. -- Regards, Rajagopal ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

I had winXP and CentOS 5.8 installed simultaneously on my laptop, winXP was dual-use: either on a bare metal or as a guest in VMWare under running CentOS. Had to create two hardware configurations on WinXP and play with disk controllers. Now I have CentOS 6.3 (recently installed) and going to achieve the same thing under KVM. Shouldn't be different. I have a dual boot -- Centos 6.3 and Win 7 running on bare metal There are three NTFS partition and 3 partitions for centos -- /boot, swap and LVM PV device. I am able to access NTFS when centos is booted. I have installed XP as a guest under Centos. Now I want to install, say firefox, whose setup file is in the second NTFS partition of host from the XP guest. How to make the partition visible to the guest?

How to make the partition visible to the guest? Add a full physical disk to the VM: disk type='block' device='disk' driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native'/ source dev='/dev/sda'/ target dev='hda' bus='ide'/ address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/ /disk *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** Don't never ever try to boot Linux again from that disk in a virtual machine OR even write anything onto Linux partitions. Trying to mount/write already mounted partitions = big shit happens. ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
