hello I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and using Virtualbox 4.1.8 to run Windows XP PRO. I have ironed out all other kinks on my own but I still can't access a file share. The sole purpose of running a VM is to get Itunes for my iphone but i cant get to my music file from my guest OS, I'm also new to ubuntu so im not sure if i have done all the updates right or not, any help would be welcome thanks. |

If you are using VirtualBox, there should be a set of guest tools you can install on Windows that will allow you to do this. See http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp9523904 and http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders |

Like the other posts said, install virtual box guest additions. With virtualbox running, go to "Devices" menu > Shared Folders Click the folder and plus icon and add the linux host path (Folder Path) you want to share and the windows "folder" (let's suppose it is MyFolder, you can provide any arbitrary name). After this, you'll be able to access in any explorer window, like this: \\vboxsrv\MyFolder |
