No it isn`t just Sage. None of my XP programs that needed a drive
other than "C" or "D" will now work. Fortunately I can copy/move files
saved from Sage to Linux folder for security.
Paul`s suggestions would involve a laborious set up every time I had to boot XP.
As I would have to do this several times a day as I can only
run one VM at a time, it is a no-no.
I also have programs freezing while the hard drive thrashes at
least once a day which requires a reboot of Linux and if i am using
it, a VM as well.
What puzzles me is why I was able to XP to "see" the network
yesterday but not today!
