Ah! I think a light is dawning.
My assumption was, from my obvious misreading of the manual. (Or is it).

Boot-Configure-Discs and set hardDisc to an extra one, and yes up pops a
new Hardisc icon of 50 Mbytes.
Name that as HD5 and Bob's me wotsit...

So what you guys are saying is, created a HD5 directory in the VRPC Win 
install directory, then point the HostFS Mount/Path at it.
Well yes that would obviously work...
Strange business.

I Never (unless there's no choice) put anything other than MS or System
related installs in Program Files.
I have my own install directory for other apps and such like.

Thanks for the chat chaps...
I'm still confused, but'll try it your way. Probably, after I've thought
about is some more.
