Access host hard drives from guest machines

Hi all,

First post here and I only have to say that VirtualBox rocks! ;-)

Anyway, I was just wandering if it is possible to see my host drives from within a guest vm.

So, if for example, I create a Linux virtual machine from WindowsXP the Linux guest OS will see the WindowsXP hard discs.

Thank you all in advance for your help and support.

Shared Folders. Search for that. Guest Additions needed, see Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions + Xorg config and the other howto on that same forum.
