Get error: "not enough free disk space" even though there is

[jwarthur]

Hello,

I am trying to transfer a 5GB file from the host file system to the guest file system. Checking the properties of the C: drive on the guest file system shows 14 GB of free space (of 23 GB total), yet I keep getting the error message "Cannot copy: There is not enough free disk space".

The host system is Mac OS X v 10.6.4 on a MacBook Pro. I am running VirtualBox v3.0.10. The guest system is Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 2. The host file system is mounted as a network drive on the guest file system.

I have also tried transferring a zipped version of the (~2.3 GB). This works fine, but then I cannot unzip it on the guest file system with the same error message (not enough free space).

Any ideas? Thanks.

Jonathan
