Notes To Ponder: April 2013

I'm Using: VirtualBox 4.2.6, Win 7 and Win 8

First run Win 7 in virtualbox, from the device menu click install guest addition

If it won't install automatically go to my computer and click CD Drive (D): VirtualBox Guest Additions

and it will show you this just click next

until it will ask you to reboot your system.

Then you need to create a shared folder from Win 8 since I'm using windows 8 and I named it "shared".

In the virtualbox go to devices and then choose shared folder.

then choose the icon that is shown below

and then add the shared folder located in Windos 8 and then click ok.

After go to my computer and then click Networks.

Then if it will ask you to turn network just right click the message and choose turn on as shown below

Choose VBOXSVR network

When you find the shared folder you can map drive it for it to be accessible to find

Just click finish

and you can find your map drive in your my computer.

Now you are ready to share files from windows 7 to windows 8 and vice versa
