[problem]cant share the disck D:

[Perryg]

You CAN NOT use D: as a map point because you already have a drive D: it is your CD Drive.

What did you call the share name in VBox?

[vbox4me2]

The first try was the right one, but you need to learn how to READ, it responded device in use, D: that is, so use X: or P: or whatever letter is not in use.

1)nor your recomendation works for me, which you can see in the attached VB problem6.JPG, how to solve??

2) and about sharing the folder i get the problem seen in the VB problem7.JPG, how to solve??

2) Instead of using < and >, use quotes (" "). When people use <some text>, it means that the text between those characters, and characters included, have to be changed to match the situation.

Code: Select all

VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid "D:\VDI\Windows en xp pro updated(pra o portatil , eescola).vdi"

Now, since you use spaces and other non-alphanumeric characters, quotes are required.

finaly i changed the internal number of that copied machine, as you can see in the attached file.

and remains the problem with the share of the partition D:\,
as you can see in the other attached file i changed the name of the machine folder , but even in this case i am not able to see that partitio n nor in my computer not in my network place.

so what to do??

and one more thing , i canot share folder inside some partition, for example, i want to share the folder: my pictures from my documents
but as you can see in the third attachement i canot click the ok buton, so waht happens?? and how to solve it???

[Perryg]

This is because the share name has a space in it. You can not have spaces, or illegal characters in the share name.

*SIGN* You don't get it do you? Would you for once do what we say? The share name may NOT contain ILLEGAL UNC characters. Colons, slashes, backslashes, spaces, they all are illegal UNC characters. I've told you before, use a-z only.

[jaguar]

ok,
i eliminated the space in the my documents as u can see in the attached file, bit i canot find now the file.
where is it??
i have looked in the network place and in my computer and there is no one folder i shared with the machine
so why is it not working??

[Sasquatch]

I'm really starting to loose my patience here with you. There are tons of instructions here, in the VirtualBox FAQ, the User Manual, and you ignore all of them.

Now, make your shared folders as in this picture. If you don't do what we are telling you all this time, ................ .

[jaguar]

I'm also really starting to loose my patience here with my problem
i have done what u had suggested and i am also not able to see nowhere the shared folders,
so what i must do??

and i have read the info in the FAQ firstly, but i got some erros, and for that reason i created a new topic

Open (start) the Windows guest.

• Click start then run.
• Type command in the run window and then click oK.
• In the command window type
• net use x: \\vboxsvr\bobic -p (press the enter key)
• then type this command
• net use y: \\vboxsvr\share -p (press the enter key)

Close the command window.
Open the file explorer and look in the file structure. You should see a drive x and a drive y that have your shares in them.

[jaguar]

a lot of thanks for you answer, but it gives me the following error message:::

• system erros 53 has occurred.
• the network path was not found.

[Perryg]

Well I don't know what to tell you at this point.
There must be something that you are not doing right and since I am not there to watch I can not tell.
Maybe this is just one of those times when it is just not going to happen until you get a little more experience with computers.
Sorry

[Sasquatch]

The only reason I can think of to get that error is if you don't have the Guest Additions installed or they aren't running.

[jaguar]

i am realy have not installed the guest aditions,
but whre i can find the guest additions for the windows guest OS ( xp pro sp3 en),
i found for the linux, for windows i cant find

note: the host OS is also xp pro sp3 en

[Perryg]

Start the XP guest and then click on devices at the top left. Click on unmount the cd first then click on install guest additions.
After that you should be able to mount the shares.
