Re: Virtual PC 6: Re-assign Drive C: ?
Doug I only have VPC 5, but in that I can expand the size of the drive up to 2,048MB using the Virtual Disk Utility. I would imagine you can do the same using v6. You must shutdown the virtual machine before doing this. Good luck.

Re: Virtual PC 6 question (dynamic drive?)
thanks for those who offered advice... the user has contacted me and told me that the problem is still happening with the dynamic drive so he'll be bringing it in again some time for me to have another shot at it. -- ~ Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph#9380 1855 (ECEL) ECEL Computer Support Officer, University of Western Australia.

RE: Virtual PC 6 question (dynamic drive?)
Mark with the dynamic drive size option, it will only expand and contract to the maximum size that it is defined up to. If the user only made their drive with un upper limit of say 3Gb, it wont grow past that, regardless of how much real hdd space is left. sTEVE -Original Message- From: Mark Secker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:45 PM To: WAMUG Mailing List Subject: Virtual PC 6 question (dynamic drive?) I've just a quick question - I've had a users computer dropped on my desk and he's run out of disk space on his VP 6 boot drive. I've fixed it by making a new fixed drive of 5 GB and copied his data from the old drive BUT I thought that the whole point of the dynamic drive system in VC was that it could dynamically increase/decrease its size as you deleted/created/installed/uninstalled files & apps on it? ps: yes tried the zero unused option -- ~ Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph#9380 1855 (ECEL) ECEL Computer Support Officer, University of Western Australia.

Virtual PC 6
Hi I was wondering if anyone out there has used Virtual PC 6 and understands some issues I'm facing. When ever I use it and make the PC restart the program closes and when I go to re-launch it, an error occurs or in some cases my computer freezes. It works fine until the windows system is restarted but then becomes corrupt. Any Ideas on a cure? Regards Christian
