Windows 7 HDDs not showing in XP Mode
Hey ALL,
I have recently installed XP Mode on my Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit and initially the hard drives available in Windows 7 were available via My Computer in XP Mode (albeit with a totally unhelpful name - as network drives (I think)). I then proceeded as normal to let XP Mode Windows update whilst I installed ClamWin Antivirus - as it was free and simply as a precaution whilst XP Mode had Internet. Once I perceived that all updates had ceased I closed XP Mode via close in the Action menu.
Next day - I launched XP Mode and installed Jasc Paintshop Pro 9 and restarted XP Mode (never checked to see if HDDs were visible in My Computer) then upon restart I went to locate a file from one of my Windows 7 drives and there all gone. I check the integration settings and all hard drives are ticked and the integration is enabled. The odd thing is sometimes they show and others time not.
To resolve this I tried the following but all to no avail.
> First I just did as probably most people would and restarted XP Mode a (tried this twice).
> Next I disabled and re-enabled integration and restarted XP Mode.
> Next disable integration at start-up, restarted XP Mode, re-enabled integration at start-up and restarted XP Mode. This probably just does the same as disabling integration.
> Looked online for answers but found none relevant to my issue.
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
