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.
 
Re: Running SunxVM VirtualBox in Vista 64

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.
