Finding VPC Quicken data files on a G5 Imac using OSX finder

Message:

I'm running VirtualPC 7 on an Apple G5 Imac running OS X 10.4.11. I
only use VPC so I can run Quicken Premier 2008. I'm in the process of
upgrading to an Intel Imac and need to transfer over my Quicken data,
and for some reason I cannot simply back up the data to a USB
flashdrive directly from VPC/Quicken on my old, trusty G5.

Where would I find find the quicken data files on my iMac using the
OSX finder? I looked under in the iMac application folders, but I
don't see anything in the VPC folder. Can I use the OSX finder to copy
the Quicken data files to my Apple desktop, if I can find them on the
hard disk? Then I can copy them to the flashdrive using this
"backdoor."

Many thanks,
Mark

Its not that easy. The Quicken files will not appear in Finder, because
they are on the Windows partition. I assume that VPC on the Mac does not
see your USB drive, correct? If that is the case, you need to somehow copy
them to the OS X side. Is there any way to share files between VPC and OS
X? I've never run VPC on OS X, so I don't know how it works.

First you need to find your data files in Windows Explorer in VPC. Then
you need to move them (somehow) to the OS X side, where Finder can see them.
Then you can copy them to your USB drive.
