Re: Boot camp drivers...?
You need to make sure that you've got the virtualbox drivers installed for networking on the virtual machine, then share whatever folder you feel like on your mac, then connect to it on the Windows guest.

IN VirtualBox you set up shared folders via the Machjine Settings menu (on the Mac menu). By default VB doesn't offer a shared folder. You can also enable/disable USB devices there, under the Ports tab. There's also an icon (as in parallels and Fusion) at the bottom of the Windows window to grab control of the USB devices. Again, as I said earlier, this is the main reason I run these VM devices in a window, rather than full screen or in 'coherence' mode (as all three now offr, VB calls it 'seamless mode' and you may have to install the Guest Additions stuff to make it work.), it gives me a lot more control over sharing the two OS'es.

Boot camp drivers...?
Well, I posted some questions before in the thread regarding iMacs and running windows. So currently, I have: XP pro (SP3) running in Virtual Box. (I know... I would like to have Windows 7, but for some reason I had XP pro keycode laying around unused, and a SP3 slipstreamed CD.) I would like to install some sort of drivers so that certain keyboard/mouse functions work properly... Like the Windows drivers that you burn to a CD when you set up Boot Camp. I know I had this CD at one point, but I can't seem to find it. How would I go about getting those drivers? A google search turned up nothing. (And Boot Camp won't run because I already have my HD partitioned...) I'd also like to set Windows to my native iMac resolution of 1440x900... Windows is too dumb to know the native resolution of attached monitors.

It depends on the emulator, but all three of the major ones let you 'take over' peripheral devices, like USB sticks and all three allow setting up Shared Folders between the host and VM. I know in Fusion, you can select a USB device from the Mac menu or a little icon at the bottom of the window, I'm pretty sure it's the same way for VirtualBox. I've got VB at home and Fusion here at work, so all I can directly check is Fusion. This is, by the way, why I don't run them in fullscreen mode, since it's difficult to switch back and forth as quickly. I always run the Windows session in a OS X window of it's own. It also keep Windows in it's place :-P -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
