Calling all Windows 7 x64 host users

[wyeknott]

I have a Win7 64-bit host running VBox 4.08 and it works -- sort'a.

My HOST is home-built using an AMD Phenom II X6 1075T CPU (6 cores), 8 GB RAM, Gigabyte 870A-UD3 Mobo, 2x 1TB HDDs.

I have the following guests:

64-bit Windows SBS 2011 (Demo, boots properly);
32-bit UBuntu 11.04 (mouse click is unreliable);
32-bit Windows 2000 SP4, (fully functional);
32-bit Windows XP SP3, (fully functional);
16-bit MS-DOS 6.22, (no shared folders, diskette doesn't work, can't connect to host)
16-bit MS-DOS 6.20, (no shared folders, diskette doesn't work; haven't tried to network)

The Win7 Host is part of a Win SBS 2003 Domain and that works just fine.
I haven't gotten into SBS 2011 very much at all but it boots properly.
UBuntu has a flakey mouse click but otherwise seems to work.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP work perfectly.

The MS-DOS VMs are badly crippled because the diskette support is non-existent, and no shared folders are available since there's no VMadditions under VBox, and I've yet to get MS-DOS Client 3.0 connect to a WIn7 Share. The only work-around I've found for this issue is to build a 100MB Virtual Disk that I pass around like a diskette between MS-DOS and Windows XP in order to swap files of any size. It works but it's a major PITA.

The only recourse I have to run MS-DOS 6.xx with shared folders is to use MS Virtual PC. That has VM Additions for MS-DOS that work.
BUT, I don't think I can run VBox and VPC at the same time which limits its utility.

Ain't we got fun?

My problem (post down below in another thread) is I can not reinstall either an old version or the latest virtualbox on my W7 Professional with dual quad core and 32 gb ram. Previous laptop had same CPU but only 8gb ram. I'm wondering if high ram I now have is the issue. other difference in this vs the other is the old had a 512mb hybrid drive; this one has a 512GB SSD and a 512GB HD.

install starts and then rolls back for an unknown reason that is not displayed.


any ideas?

thanks leon

BTW I have Windows Virtual PC loads and it works. the old laptop did not have VPC loaded. I do need both if possible.
