I don't know where you want me to start so I'll start from the beginning... Fedora 9/10 -> VirtualBox -> Windows XP (SP 2 & 3) -> AnyDVD -> Nero Recode OR Clone DVD I've used both the Shared Folders to create the new ISO in my home directory and used Samba/cifs. I believe the problem is fixed now, but the first time I tried to use Shared Folders it confused Windows as to the file system capability and would not write a file bigger than 1GB so Recode was creating multi part ISO's. Using Samba to access my home directories fixed this but because I was using the virtual network device it was limiting throughput to 100Mbit which annoyed me :) Richard _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
