Hi All VirtualBox users,

I recently successfully create my first VM using virtualbox, everything
works just fine, except sharedfolder. Here is my situation:

Host: Windows XP Home
Guest: Ubuntu 7.10

To share folders between host and guest,

(1) In host (XP),

C:\Program Files\InnoTek VirtualBox>vboxmanage sharedfolder add "ubuntu"
-name " research" -hostpath "d:\research"

then,

C:\Program Files\InnoTek VirtualBox>vboxmanage list vms

in the results, there is a line says:

Shared folders: Name: 'research', Host path: 'd:\research' (machine mapping)

(2) In Guest (Ubuntu),

sudo mkdir research
sudo mount -t vboxsf research ~/research

Then it returns:
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or
directory

However, I went to /sbin/ and "mount.vboxsf" is there.

Now, I don't know what to do next to make sharedfolder work, please help!!!

Thanks a lot!
