Word file copied to shared folder get's broken
Posted: 7. Sep 2008, 16:24
Host: Ubuntu 8.04
Guest: Windows XP SP3
Virtualbox 2.0 with Guestaddon 2.0
Shared folder using Ext3
I created a new MS Word file and store this on the Desktop of my Guest (WinXP). Then I copied this file to the shared folder. When I try to open this copied file directly from the shared folder, MS Word requests me to install the converter tools. Even though I did that, I am not able to get my original content of the Word document. It's just producing rubbish.
Anybody experiencing the same or already got a solution?
Looking forward for your help~
