How to add my hyper v machine shared folder C drive to my phyiscal computer so that I can store data onto my virtual machines
I have hyper v and I have a windows 8 client in my hyper v and I would like to be able to access there share drive folder from my physical windows 8 machine outside of hyper v. Is that possible? I downloaded rsat on my physical machine outside of hyper v and I want to store the rsat download onto my win 8 virtual machine inside of hyper v
it's just another machine within the network so sure you can. just create the share and then connect to it via windows UNC \\<yourphysicalmachine>

Can you please explain that to me in a easier way. Do you mean like if my physical name is northcarolina and my hyper v machine name is newyork, so i woul do
newyork\\northcarolina in the run commnad from my northcarolina machine?
newyork\\northcarolina in the run commnad from my northcarolina machine?
No.
If your VM is called NewYork, then you log in to it, and access the shared folder on NC by using command \\northcarolina\share
If the name doesn't work, you might need to use the IP address. You can find it by using command ipconfig froma command prompt or by doubleclicking on the computers in the notification area.
You might also need to allow Guest access to your machine which is disabled by default since Windows Vista if I'm not mistaken. Go to Control panel, user accounts and allow Guest access.

you could mount the vhd as a drive and then save to that drive'

Yes it can be called through it's IP as you need create a share on your virtual machine and permit everyone to have access to it, and then from your physical machine call the virtual machine by its IP, Example \\192.168.75.120 (If it is asking for a password then supply the virtual machine admin credentials)
I do have around 80 machines running on my hyper V and they are not part of my domain so I used to call it through it's IP address all the time when I want to copy something.
