[solved] Data loss while writing

Post by t520v »

Hi,
I hope I have translated the message "Datenverlust beim Schreiben" correctly to English. I use VirtualBox 4.1.8 under openSUSE 12.1, my guest system is Windows XP Prof. In most cases when I try to copy some files from the guest to the host (by file manager or copy command) I get the error message mentioned above. It is especially true when copying larger files (a few MB). The error was also in 4.1.6.

Can anybody help?

Peter

What means "installed well"? I re-installed the guest additions and the problem seems to have disappeared. Thank you!

After updating VirtualBox and the Extension Pack to 4.1.6 (?) and then to 4.1.8 I had not updated the guest additions.
