All the talk in a thread and using Virtual Box reminded me of this story I
heard any yesterday. Personally, I've always preferred VMWare Workstation
over VirtualBox, and have Even
okay got it all taken care of. my issue was that I had photos on an
ext3 file system and I needed windows to read it. I took care of it by
booting into a live disk, formatting a stick to a msdos filesystem, copying
the needed pictures onto the stick, chmod 777 these files, and all is good
now!
