    I currently have home server installed as a VM on my main workstation box.  Is there a way for it to see the drives on my home box to share the content?

    Whether it can be done, and how you do it, will depend on your virtualization tool; if you can mount a physical drive to a VM, Windows Home Server will be able to share data from it. Please consult the documentation and technical support for that tool for exact capabilities and procedures.

    Edit: Assuming you're running Windows Home Server 2011, that is. Windows Home Server V1 requires you to let it manage data, not some other tool/computer/etc.

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
