Windows Forum / Virtual PC / May 2008Different file's time stamp when copied into guest
I have posted this in server newsgroup but did not receive reply. XP is a host system and Server runs in Virtual PC. Both have NTSF file system. I can produce that time difference each time I copy file from host to guest I wonder if it has something to do with the date by itself. For example file stamped 2002 does not have that difference. Server 2008 ===>guest File Properties: Created: Saturday, ?January ?12, ?2008, ??5:01:24 PM The same file in Windows XP has time stamp: ====>Host Created: Saturday, January 12, 2008, 5:01:22 PM Why there is a 2 seconds difference? The file was created in XP and copied to the Server next day. It does happen to almost all copied files. Sometimes there is a difference of 1 second: Created: Monday, ?January ?28, ?2008, ??3:28:16 PM ===>server Created: Monday, January 28, 2008, 3:28:15 PM ===>XP The time stamps shown above was copied and pasted directly into this message. Time stamp originated from Server has some question marks, which I do not see when watching directly file properties. Where these question marks came from? Jack I would say that this happens because the clock on the guest is two seconds out compared to the host. >I have posted this in server newsgroup but did not receive reply. > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Jack And copying file a few days later? And having 1 sec difference on anther file? And not having time difference with 2002 file? I do not think so.

If any of them use FAT32 then you do not have enough resolution to get accurate timestamps. Use NTFS instead. Bo Berglund It was noted in my first post: >>>>>>>>>>>>>Both have NTSF file system. I can recreate that problem each time. Also, what are these question marks? Jack >>And copying file a few days later? >>And having 1 sec difference on anther file? [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Bo Berglund I have tested it both ways. The copied file into server has changed time stamp by 1 to 2 seconds. Copying that file back to host keeps the "new" time stamp intact. It means that server is modifying file time stamp for good!

Do you use: - Drag-drop (with VM Additions installed)? - VPC Shared Folders? - Normal network shares? Just as a comparison using drag-drop: If you enable the corresponding feature on VMWare Workstation and drag a file from the host to the guest you lose the timestamp completely! It is as if you had copied it via FTP. The timestamp becomes <now>. So having a 1-2 s difference is much better in that comparison.
