Hi, Without a lot of experience with virtual pc 2007 i'd have to say that the problem is that virtual disk needs to be partitioned and formatted. I hope someone corrects me about this next statement, but under xp and server OS's the disk manager app is not accessible for creating partitions on disks, i hope that's wrong, but i haven't been able to get it to work. I use diskpart to partition disks. Once they're partitioned how i like them i use diskpart's assign command to give them a drive letter, then i can close out of diskpart and go to my computer and format the disk.

I am currently working with Microsoft virtual pc 2007 and jaws. I have created a second virtual hard disk using the virtual disk wizard and set the second disk in my virtual machine to point to it. Why doesn't this disk show up under my computer. I have xp pro as the host and guest os. I am talking about showing up under the guest os. Thanks for any advice.
