Sharing Files between XP as VM and PCLOS host

Post by JohnnieG »

With a little help from my friends in the forum, I have successfully reinstalled Virtual Box and have installed my Win XP. Thank you all so much.

Now, I need to be able to have the XP save to and open from my file folder on the same drive as the VM. To clarify, I need to be able share files between PCLOS and Win XP as VM.

As always, your help will be appreciated.
