If they are installed but the machine is not yet fully started then shared folders will be available once it is.”

Or, reinstall them if they are not working correctly, by selecting Insert Guest Additions CD Image from the Devices menu.

I now see this message that was not there before: Under Devices on the main header, before I opened the guest machine, I verified clipboard is bi directional, so is shared folders and drag and drop. Is it in the Oracle file in Programs on the host? Please advise the location of the Guest vbox log.

I need to share folders between host and guest Host- H/P Notebook running 64 bit W 10 Home Edition

Guest - WXP Pro 32 bit with SP 3 (licensed to me).

It took so long to get WXP to load I would hate to mess it up.

I don't know if I should try to update now? I installed the older version of Oracle 5.2.22 as I couldn't get the 6.1 version to recognize the install program CD. System: Oracle Version 5.2.22 - All guest packs installed. Nothing can be copied and pasted from Host to Guest Machine either.īoot Order: Hard Drive, C/D, USB, unchecked floppy. The shared folder in the Host is not read only and there are no other restrictions on that file. I have checked my settings over and over but cannot find anything that allows the shared folder to load in the Guest Machine? Progress: I now have WXP Pro with SP3 installed in my Virtual Box.
