Reading Windows Harddrive from Within VPC

Message:

Hello, I was wondering if I can mount the root hard-drive as a drive in
Virtual PC. I need to be able to access its files from within the operating
system that's being run by VPC but I cannot figure out how to do this.

Much thanks,
Joseph

with vm additions you can but beware you will lose isolation safety. if the
VM mess up the host system files, especially host windows systems files, you
will have a mess

If you've installed the VM Additions you can use shared folders by clicking
the "folders" icon in the bottom left side of the VM window, or in the
settings.

Why not just use normal file sharing as you would between two networked
