We have a standard data drive that is shared with a VM in this resource group. We also have a Classic VM in a different resource group. Can we attach that drive to the classic VM? Or is there another way we can copy data from the shared drive to the Classic vm?

    Hello @Richard Powers

    Unfortunately you cannot colocate unmanaged and managed disks on the same VM

    You can create Azure Files share and mount it on both VMs
