I want to install a VM running WindowsXP that is available both to my
wife and to me when logged in. I tried putting the files in the
/Users/Shared folder but VPC still gives an error message that it cant
write to the C:\ drive (actually numerous messages to various C:\..
paths) and fails to save. I have the privileges on the MacOS for the
folder and its contents set to allow either of us read/write pivileges.
I can run XP fine when logged in as me.

MacOS 10.4.1, 1.8 Ghz iMac, 768 ram, VPC 7.0.1

Thanks in advance.

Can you do an ls -lR on the hard drive bundle directories so that we can
see what may be missing? That would help.

Thanks.
