Win8/Win8.1 fun virtual machine six: Hyper-V file sharing articles

Computer Store News: This week, IT Home brought a series of tutorials on Win-V virtual machine for Win8 and Win8.1 users. For enthusiasts, how to exchange files between physical machines and Hyper-V virtual machines becomes a problem. This time, the IT House organized how to use the Hyper-V virtual disk for file sharing.

If your virtual machine supports connecting to an external network, you can use the network disk tool. But if you are in an intranet environment, then we can use the Hyper-V virtual disk to complete the file sharing function. Compared with VMware and VirtualBox tools, Hyper-V virtual machine has its own unique advantages in file sharing, namely VHD, VHDX virtual disk, native support Win8/Win8.1 platform.

Why does Hyper-V not support the VMware clipboard copy file feature?

This is mainly due to the market positioning of the Microsoft virtual machine platform, and Hyper-V is also the main security card, disable the clipboard copy file function.

The specific reference tutorial is as follows:

For example, we create a 5G virtual disk for file sharing area

1. Hyper-V virtual disk creation

1. Open the main interface of Hyper-V Manager, select the function area on the right side of the menu, and create new hardware

2. According to the new virtual hard disk wizard, Win8 users can select VHDX virtual disk format. .

3, in terms of disk type, Hyper-V virtual machine supports three types of disks: fixed size, dynamic expansion and differential disk, here we can choose fixed size or dynamic expansion.

4, specify the name and location of the virtual disk

5, for example, we need 5G blank virtual disk, enter 5GB, the user can Use it for your actual needs.

Finally, the configuration is complete.

Since the newly created virtual disk is a blank disk, it needs to be configured to be recognized by the current Windows 8 system and loaded.

Second, Hyper-V virtual disk configuration articles

1, open the computer management (you can right-click "this computer", select management), then we will find that we just created The 5G virtual disk is not recognized by the Win8 system and the display is unassigned.

2, right click on the newly created 5G virtual disk 1, initialize the disk, Win8 system supports MBR and GPT program, ordinary users can choose MBR partition form

3, this When the virtual disk 1 can be recognized by the Win8 system normally, it is marked as online, but the task is still assigned in one step.

4. Right-click the unassigned virtual disk and select New Simple Volume
>

5. Refer to the New Simple Volume Wizard to complete the virtual disk configuration.

Now that this 5G virtual disk is re-marked as F-disk, users can normally read and write the disk partition, such as copying programs, files and other data that need to be shared. So how do you load this virtual disk into a Hyper-V virtual machine? Continue to look down.

Third, Hyper-V virtual disk loading articles

1, open the computer management, right click on the virtual disk 1, select offline (or virtual disk in the resource manager, such as F disk, Right-click and select “Eject”)

2. Open the required virtual machine settings interface in the Hyper-V Manager, for example, “Win8.1 Test”, select Add Hardware < ;Disk drive”, add effect

3. Browse the previously configured VHDX format virtual disk directory, for example, “New virtual disk.vhdx” p>

Of course, we can also select the Hyper-V check function to view the attribute information of the virtual disk.

4. If the Win8 user enables the secure boot mechanism, the function of loading the virtual disk will be invalid. In this case, you need to remove the “Start Safe Boot” check box.

So how do you enable the Hyper-V virtual machine to enable secure boot and also support the loading of vhdx virtual disks?

This is mainly due to the Win8 security boot mechanism, which requires the GPT disk format by default, so the MBR disk format is not recognized. At this time, we only need to change the partition format of the previous virtual disk from MBR to GPT disk format.

5, at this time, we can open the Hyper-V virtual machine system, at this time, the virtual machine system will automatically load this 5G virtual disk, also achieve file sharing tasks.

If we need to share a new file for a virtual machine, just turn off the virtual machine and mount the virtual disk to complete the file copy. Don't forget to pop the virtual disk & ldquo; You can share new files by working offline and then restarting the Hyper-V virtual machine.
