it doesnt find my usb devices, how do i access other hard drives on my pc? windows 7 xp mode would display all my drives in my computer.

Do you see H: drive in vm? if not, you can map \\.host\sfs as network drive. Each hard disk on host will appear as subdir of H:, e.g., H:\c is the c drive of your host disk.

You can add you USB drive as a shared folder in the same way. Go to mnnu Device > Shared Folders to add more folders

That seems to have done the job! Thanks! The XP Mode for the two flavors of 7 Ulitmate were already downloaded and ready to try out if the 64bit will work as well as the 32bit. In most cases virtual wares have been limited to the 32bit only.

The workstation gui does look very close in appearance to the SUN Virtual Box.
