Install and Config Virtualbox_2.4.x on Ubuntu 9.04 host (part 2)

Hi all,
The previous post, i presented about installing Virtual Box on Ubuntu 9.04 host. This time, i would like to guide you to use a helpful feature of VBox which is shared folder. It can be seen that there are the common folder that Ubuntu host and Window OS guest can access and sharing data. In order to do so, you should do following configuration. (assume that your Virtual machine had already installed Window XP)
1. Config from Vbox.
From Vbox, choosing tab: "setting", then select share folder as above:
2. Starting your VMachine, from menu "device" select "Install Guest Addition" and patiently waiting for minutes until the plus package are complete downloaded from the Server.
3. After downloading completely, an screen appear the installation progress in Window Xp. After this step, you can see above icon.
You can see icon as a virtual CD and icon at system tray.
4. Open Run -> cmd --> net use z: \\vboxsvr\share_name
in which share_name is the name that you gave in share folder at first step.
wait a second and you are going to see the success.
From now on, you can access to share folder over driver Z.
Good luck!
