I really get a lot of use out of your website. Question about Virtual Box.

After you have used it and exit it, what happens to the hard drive space you have assigned?

Do all traces of the virtual OS disappear when you exit?

If VB crashes does it cause problems with your main OS and hard drive?

Thanks for your time,

Tom

Dear Barry, you asked:

“I’m sure there is some way to share a folder between the ‘real’ computer and the VirtualBox
but I just couldn’t see it … Anyone know how to share a folder?”

If you still have the VirtualBox installed (with its help file) look up the help file for the section

Chapter 4. The VirtualBox Guest Additions

Arround there you will find all that you need to know – works really well.

If you have a standard install, you can use this link in Internet Explorer on your real system:

I am just getting into this Virtual machine world.
I have successfully installed MS virtual computer (it’s free) then i tried Virtual box
I’m sure there is some way to share a folder between the ‘real’ computer and the VirtualBox
but I just couldn’t see it so I’m back to MS. Anyone know how to share a folder?

VirtualBox 2.1.x Supports x64 guest on x86 host. That’s pretty good for a free small footprint application

I know that vmware server supports usb…. I would assume Microsoft does too.

Virtual Box is good but I prefer VMWare Server which runs great and is free there is also a free version of VMWare ESX forget what it is called. While VMWare Server is designed for use with servers it functions fine with Windows XP and earlier. The VMWare ESX that is free is a stripped down version of the ESX platform which is great for virtual server ssetups.

I run Virtualbox on my XP and on my Ubuntu machines. I have VMs setup for Windows Server 2003, Cert OS 5.2, Ubuntu 8.0.4LTS, Windows 7. Virtualbox also supports USB, which I don;t know if the others do.
