Slow access to shared drive on Host

Post by mtech61 »

I am using Vista 64 Ultimate with Q9550 Quad CPU, 8 Gb RAM so not a slow PC. I have VirtualBox set to Use 2Gb of Ram and 10Gb Hard drive for XP Guest. However it takes a minute to access the shared C:\other folder on my Vista Boot drive and then another minute to drill down to each sub-directory

Any Ideas anyone??
