Running SunxVM VirtualBox in Vista 64

[Guest Kue2]

I'm Running Vista 64 Ultimate SP1 applied

Problem:

I loaded SunxVM Virtual box.

I then loaded Xp32 via the XP32 cd

(everything seems to be working as I am connected to the internet)

I now want to copy SP3 for Xp32 from my cd rom drive

I can "see"the SP3 file,but when I try to copy it I get an error box stating

the "parameter is incorrect"

How do I correct this so I can copy a file from the cd rom?

 

This is rather neat though,first time running a virtual box.

Wouldn't it more logical to seek the information from Sun

rather than a Windows forum? Virtual Box is not a Microsoft

product, therefore I would think the web site for Virtual

Box would be more likely to find relative information.

 

Try at: http://forums.virtualbox.org/ I do see several

discussions about problems with Virtual Box on Windows

platforms.

This might be better for the virtualbox.org forums.

 

Nevertheless, I just tried copying files from a CD in an XP virtual

machine in VBox 1.6.0 on Vista x64 and it worked fine. I did have to

disable passthru, as it always seems to make my drive think it has a

blank audio disc in it.
