Ah, I see now.
When I click the "My Computer" icon in the file dialog, nothing is displayed.
The file list is empty.
Another bug in vbox (v1.3.8 on WinXP,if anybody is reading).
Either click on the drop dow list on the top or manually enter the drive letter
with colon as "File Name" and press enter (and the contents of that disk will 
be displayed).
 
Regards,
David

Thanks David for your help. Very glad to know that I can have the Image file on 
the 2nd HD. Following your suggestions, I got as far as clicking on the select 
icon. But I was unable to find a drive letter as I was going to use the 
unallocated space on the 2nd HD. I then set up an 8 GB Ext 2 logical partition 
for the Ubuntu 6.06 Image file, and gave it the letter N. 

Unfortunately, when I went through setting up the VM again and clicked on the 
select icon, the N drive was not visible. Tried a few more combinations, but 
without success. So, I regret to say that I failed to make much progress.

I should mention that I have downloaded Ubuntu and burned it to a CD ISO, and 
have been using this live CD for a few weeks. However, having been with Windows 
for many years (and DOS before that), I think it is time to take a serious look 
at Linux. When I read about VMs, it looked like the perfect way to go.

Any further suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

Bob
