Hi,
I used Virtualbox within Win 7 Pro and I'm installing win server as the guest. During setup, how can I take the screenshot? Thanks

Depends on what you actually mean by a screen shot. Is it a visual screen shot or a screen shot that preserves the base image of the VM?
Both are explained in your VirtualBox users manual.

(Host+T) will take a snapshot but beware. These can make things difficult if something goes wrong unless you keep good backups.
(Host+E) takes a screen shot. In case you want a visual.

I know it is to take snapshot of the guest, right? Then how to paste it in the host?
