Install Ubuntu 11.10 In virtualbox in win7 and set folder sharing

Environment: win7, virtualbox 4.2.4, and Ubuntu 11.10;

1. Install the enhancement package;

After Ubuntu is started, click the device in the upper left corner-install the enhancement ...;

Open the main folder and a CD named vboxadditions_4.2.4_81684 will be loaded;

Start the terminal (shortcut: CTRL + ALT + T) and switch to the vboxadditions_4.2.4_81684 directory;

Command:

cd media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.2.4_81684sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Restart Ubuntu after installation;

2. Set folder sharing;

First, create a folder in win7 and add the shared property;

My ID is D: \ virtual_shared;

After restarting Ubuntu, click "device-shared folder" in the menu;

Add the shared folder you just created in the fixed assignment and click OK;

3. Mount shared folders;

Enter the following command on the terminal:

sudo mkdir /mnt/sharedsudo mount -t vboxsf VIRTUAL_SHARED /mnt/shared

Now Ubuntu can share folders with win7;

To detach a shared folder, run the following command on the terminal:

sudo umount -f /mnt/shared

You can modify the/etc/fstab file to enable automatic mounting if it is difficult to manually mount each time;

Open/etc/fstab (enter gedit/etc/fstab in the terminal to open the editing interface) and add

VIRTUAL_SHARED /mnt/shared vboxsf rw,gid=100,uid=1000,auto 0 0

You can achieve automatic mounting;
