Installing on another drive, is it possible?

Post by Honey »

I don't have so much space on my System disk C:, so I would like to install the virtual disk on another partition (where i have a lot of space).

But when installing it doesn't give me the possibility to change the drive.
I tried installing booting from another partition, but when I link from c: to the already created virtual disk, VirtualBox duplicates that "Windows XP SP2.vdi" (in my case) on the C. drive... so I haven't solved anything.

Same question about changing the drive where to store the snapshots.

Any help?

Thanks in advance

You would need to change where you store the Files in the preference section of VBox.
