Windows Virtual PC File Copy from host very slow
- by Shiv Kumar
I have a Windows 7 desktop on which I've installed Windows Virtual PC and an instance Windows 7.
I also have virtual XP instance on the same host. The problem I am having is that copying files from the host to the virtual machine is dog slow. I'm talking 17KB/sec. The host machine has a gigbit NIC.
While using the XP virtual instance to do the same I didn't notice a huge difference but on the Window 7 virtual instance the time is really slowing me down.
Is there something I need to do (settings) to fix this?
I've attached an image of the Resource monitor (of the virtual Windows 7 instance) that shows my network traffic going in bursts rather than relatively steady. The files are on a "public" folder on my host machine.
