Thank you all for your insight. I will investigate the vmsmount and the network idea. I need to import or load a program to use in the freedos platform and would like to add the folder into my dos C:\ drive but haven't figured that out yet. Then I wouldn't need to use a shared folder. I have the folder in my /home/documents/ now and just want to copy it into the virtual drive so I can run the .com and use the program.
