Not sure if this is right or not, but according to http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/wi...running-virtual-pc-2007-on-windows-vista.aspx one of the comments says that USB access is not supported?!

i was worried that this might be the case

VirtualBox can read VirtualPC virtual hard drives, so no need. Just point VBox at the VPC hard drive, and away you go!

The man's a genius.!

You could probably just share the USB drive as a network share if not (assumsing VirtualPC lets you access them).

Ah im not sure it does, i had a go but that might just be me.?

also tried to access my backup HDD on my actual pc from My Virtualpc with no luck,

going to give Virtualbox a spin....
