I go this message below as I was installing a program..
I have my drive setup as 40gb dynamic .. Ive in no way used near that ..
So it got me as a loss as to why I got the message.
-------------------------------------------

Host system reported that the file size limit of the host file system has been exceeded. VM execution is suspended. You need to move your virtual hard disk to a filesystem which allows bigger files.

Which one is that.? I have my XPPRO.vdi on a virtual 40GB dynamic partition residing in a 150GB drive. Now you saying I need something bigger than the 40GB dynamic partition ?

Or you refereeing to .VirtualBox in my Linux home folder?

There seems to be a filesize limit:

Yes I see that sadly seems no fix for it.
maybe I will try reload it again and use the the full 150gb..

Just a stupid idea, can't you create a partition of a different sort that doesn't have these limits? linux should have some sort of ntfs support...

I reformated the external usb drive to ext3 it was a fat32 ..

So will see what happens from there
