Error starting VirtualBox after Win7 reinstall

Re: Configure VM to share my PC's drive

I found what I was looking for: I mapped a network drive to \\vboxsrv\<some directory> and I was able to share files.

Thank you.

Configure VM to share my PC's drive

I would like to configure VB so the VM and my PC share the contents of my PC's C drive. I've search the forums and I see some that look like what I want, but I can't get enough detailed instructions to configure VM. How can I configure VM?

Re: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine

Thank you. I removed drive F: from the VM config and did a power up. However, I need the drive to do other installations and I can't figure out how to add it back in.

When I came back a week later, I get this error: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine andy_pc_vm. Cannot open host device 'F:...
