I have a Vista machine and despite the huge amount of ram it requires and the fact that it keeps rearranging the files within all my folders, I like it. One other unfortunate problem I have with it, though is the fact that it really doesn’t seem to like XP Pro much. I dropped my fiance’s laptop the other day and the display is fried and her dvd burner is no longer working. We don’t have enough money to get her a new display or a new laptop so the only option is to place all her data on my pc. We only have a small amount of time to do this as her display is more blacked out every day and we need to do it while I can still see the screen.
I tried to network the two together but as I said… Vista doesn’t seem to like XP Pro much. To prepare for this transfer, I installed VMware on my Vista machine and installed XP on it so we could place all of her stuff there. But with the network between Vista and XP giving me such a problem, I thought I might be able to run the network between the virtual machine and her laptop, thus cutting Vista out of it. I need to know if this is possible and if so, how I would go about doing it.
Thanx!
