I'd use Host networking and 'net use' directly to where I want to dump the files.
But you can always make a new VDI and use the current VDI as a second disk when the new VDI is up and running.

second dvi is not an option for me due to lack of hdd space...... i think for time being i need to adapt with the speed...
