Not sure if this is true, but it does sounds reasonable, since this disk may be a "compilation" of several physical disks.&lt;br&gt;C: is simply too small - I have 3 virtual machines installed and there will be no room to hold all their data.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I personally made a virtual folder, without duplication, in hope that WHS will NOT try to do "smart" things on it. So far its running fine. I encountered once error saying "Cannot start virtual machine because its disk is being used by another process". Not sure what this was, but its gone before I logged into server to check which process uses it, so waiting for this to occur again</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Philip Patrick</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 15 Jun 2008 06:21:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Runing Linux on a Windows Home Server simuntaneously</title><link>http://www.pedroinnecco.com/2008/05/whs-linux/#comment-1704057</link><description>JR,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good point. The way I did, I put the virtual Hard Disk in the C:\ drive itself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The reason I did it this way is that for the virtual machine drive, I don't think I need to have tombstones or any other kind of gimmicks used to handle the DATA partition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Alternatively, I *THINK* a user would be safe in simply adding the virtual hard disk drive into a directory in the D:\ drive which is outside of the shared folders structure. For example, I use uTorrent on my home server and the temporary directory of incomplete downloads is at "D:\incomplete downloads\utorrent" -- and I never had data corruption issues.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Pedro</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:08:52 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Runing Linux on a Windows Home Server simuntaneously</title><link>http://www.pedroinnecco.com/2008/05/whs-linux/#comment-1704056</link><description>Where do you put the virtual hard disk so it doesn't trigger the corruption bug?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JR</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:39:24 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
