Hello, I've got a few inter-related questions:
1) How does one shut down the VM while saving its current/latest state, so that next time the VM is started it has the exact same state as when it was shut down? I did look at this: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#id2644986 And I did try both the "Save machine state" and "Send the shutdown signal", but neither method preserved the actual, latest state of the VM at the time of shutdown. 2) Is there anything one has to do/configure to get the VM (more precisely, its disk) to have its true, up to date state state/content always preserved? That is, if the VM crashes, then when I star the VM again, is there any way to have the disk be in the same state as just before the crash? (i.e. just like the regular filesystem on real disks in non-VM environments) 3) I'm a new VirtualBox user. Using the latest VBox, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 from an Ubuntu 10.04 ISO file I had downloaded on the Windows 7 host. The install went fine and I can use the VM just fine. However, when I stop the VM and then start it again, I keep getting asked to install Ubuntu, as if I didn't already install. But I know Ubuntu I installed IS on the virtual disk image, because if I play along and select to do the install again, I see that the installer recognizes there is something already on disk. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
