HI.

I dont know if this is possible, hence me asking, I have a DVD player
(yamada Chilli) that has a USB connection, and will accept USB HDD.

What i would like to do if possible is make a shared drawer on a PC
appear to be a USB hard drive, and connect the PC to the DVD player via
a USB-USB cable.

So is there any such software which would allow this to be possible ?

Thanks in advance for any replys, Even if they are just to say "dont be
so stupid" :)

There is no software that will do this. However, you could locate a USB
enclosure box which will convert the standard drive to a USB drive.
 
Thanks for the response Yves Leclerc.

I do already have an external USB drive, a 2.5inch laptop in external
enclosure, was just interested to see if i could do away with having to
move that back and forward between the PC and the DVD player, ah well
never mind :)

Thanks again

You could locate a USB device sharing hub which will allow to to "share" the
drive between the DVD player and the laptop. However, both need to be close
to each other.

Oh yeah great idea, I did not even consider that idea.

Thanks again, I will go off and look for such a thing now.
