   has a utility called vmware-mount under the /bin directory that
   lets you mount [3]#virtualmachine as drives in your [4]#Windows
   system. At least, it works under Win7 64-bit. This means, I can
   copy files into my virtual machine easily, even if it's an
   unsupported virtual machine :D [5]#yay * :) vmware-mount z:
   e:\iso\Wndows 3.1.vmdk" made the files/folders on that virtual
   drive visible under command line. [your virtual machine has to
   be POWERED OFF BTW] also you have to unmount (they call it
   "delete") the connection BEFORE powering your virtual machine
   back up again... Just vmware-mount /d z: note - I had to use
   Administrator CMD - not the regular one... and it doesn't seem
   to show up under Explorer, but who cares! If you don't know how
   to work around the command line... well... mounting drives might
   be something you should wait on doing just yet.* ... not to be
   elitist or anything 'cause, well, command line navigation is
   kinda a good thing to know anyway. Oh and Z: MD PAPERPORT E:
   CD\paperport XCOPY /E *.* Z:\PAPERPORT is what I used to copy
   the contents of a set of files and folders, even empty ones, to
   the mounted drive, which was Z: - and I created a directory
   called Paperport - because I was using an ancient piece of
   software.
