workaround

Post by stefano_m5 »

I followed the suggestion found on another thread, where they said that the problem occurs only when sharing host machine top level directories. I then shared a subdirectory and this fixed the problem.
VirtuaBox 1.6.4; XP host; Kubuntu 7.10 and winXP guests

I did the same and it worked for me too.

I HOPE THAT VIRTUALBOX TEAM WILL CORRECT THIS SOON !

Update :
It seems that Sun integration takes a lot of energy to VirtualBox developers team !
If someone has any idea how to share an entire hard disk with VirtualBox 1.5.6 with linux guest and windows host, please let us know...

VirtualBox 1.5.6, host : vista, guest Ubuntu 8.04
