Hello, Tom -- Wellll, it IS the name that I got before I could make any choice!!! Hmmm. I am encouraged by your suggestion that the surgery doesn't necessarily have to be all that drastic; I am trying to prepare "Justin Case"! Unfortunately, there IS no "2nd hard drive" ANYwhere -- except in that diagnostic (Doggy-Nasty?) message! So I really do not know quite what to suppress. And Yes, I have definitely checked the hard drive information! THIS is the kind of stuff that bothers me; I can make a little sense of things, but not enough to DO anything! If there is anything in particular you would like me to try, let me know what to do; I will gladly send you my results. Also, I wrote up two special messages for Frank -- the second addresses 3.0.6 issues. I anticipate his reply whenever he has the time and specific info. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > Message: 1 > > Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2009 15:55:26 -0500 > > From: Bruce MacArthur <[email protected]> > > Subject: [vbox-users] 20090909VB -- Recovering Guest Data > > To: [email protected] > > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > > Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" > > > > Greetings -- > > > > I am running Kubuntu Jaunty as my host system, Virtualbox OSE version > > 2.1.4_OSE, and Windows XP Pro as my guest system. > > > > For no discernible reason, whenever I attempt to "Start" my guest > > system, I am now getting a terminal diagnostic.
