Hope this helps save someone some time and hassle. When step 6 is done, you should be able to see the new drives in Win Explorer, plus the small folder icon on the bottom of the virtual session. Net use t: \\vboxsvr\Videos and that worked fine. My path was /home/pete/videos, but the Folder Name was Videos, so I ran For step 6, I think that the key thing is the Folder Name that you selected in the shared folders setup. For step 4, go to top menu, Devices.Shared Folders.į. That will trigger the actual install, with the typical Windows install dialogs.Į. After step 2, go into Win Explorer, find the Guest Additions drive, right-click and pick Auto-Play. For step 2, realize that this only sets up the iso file, and does not complete the install.ĭ. (I do most of my Windows work as a Power User to minimize viruses, so I had problems until I switched to an admin account.)Ĭ. Start up Win XP guest as a Windows admin-level user. In Synaptic, install the virtualbox guest additions, utilities, etc. (Most are very obvious.) Many of these I picked up in this thread, and some on my own.Ī. But I still had other items to deal with, and I'm listing them here. The above is a great start, and it helped me a lot.
I'm writing about installing Win Xp as a guest on a Karmic host. can't quite remember now, but that worked. But nore that you need to install Guest Additions before following the video tutorial, then I use a folder called vb on the Desktop of Ubuntu, I right clicked on it and then selected. I found THIS () video tutorial on the matter and it works well. Follow the wizard and look for you shared folder, add it and you're done.īut when I view this folder, none of the folders I created to share appear, it's just empty.
Use the "Add Network Place Wizard" in Windows. Hi, should this definetly be a t: drive or could it be another? This should work this is exactly what i did to get mine working its surprising how frustrated I got figuring this out once in the dos console deal type net use t: \\vboxsvr\Crimethinc(only put in the last folders name on the end of the command for example if you selected a folder under home/Crimthinc/music the command would be net use t: \\vboxsvr\music) start up windows go to Start->Run enter cmd and press enterĦ. Set up your shared folders in virtual box. go to the top panel click Devices->Install Guest EditionsĤ.
