[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1598043, member: 131855"] I'm going to tell you the steps I would try in Fusion since that's the VM software I'm most familiar with. The steps in other VM software should bed similar. This may allow the Windows XP VM to "see" the drive. It assumes the drive is external. 1. If the drive is mounted in OS X eject it so that it is no longer in use by OS X and disconnect it from the computer. 2. Launch your VM and let XP load. 3. Re-connect the drive to the computer. You will likely be asked whether to connect it to Mac or Windows. Choose Windows. XP should now be able to mount the drive letting utilities see it. If that does not work let us know what software was used to create the VM. [/QUOTE]
