Hi,
I have VirtualBox 4.2.18 on Windows 2008 R2. Could VirtualBox be configured to have guest running on different host hard drive?
I would like to have couple guest running on C drive and couple running on D drive.

Re: Having guest on different Host drive
Yes, it's quite easy.
If the VMs have not been created yet then the File|Preferences|General|Default Machine Folder setting controls which parent folder the VM folder will be created in. The parent folder can of course be located on another drive (always nominate a parent folder, i.e. I don't recommend creating VM folders in the root folder of a drive).
If the VMs already exist then you can move them. See Howto: Move a VM.
