I am recommending the Oracle Virtual Box for hosting a
guest OS.
1) Download and Install the VirtualBox
2) Install the respected VirtualBox Extension
you can download it from here
3) Now Install the OS you want to.
While
creating the Hard disk select "Virtual Hard Disk-VHD", Dynamically
allocated options
4) After Installation of Linux Guest OS, open the
terminal
5) create the folder "share" (u can name
it different if want) on current user’s Desktop { In my case,
/home/dsadmin/Desktop/share}, not on root.
6) su to root
7) in terminal, type below command...
cd
/media/cdrom
For 32-bit (x86) guest OS, run the following
command to install Virtual Box Guest Additions:
sudo
./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
For 64-bit (x64) guest OS, run the following
command:
sudo
./VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
8) After successful installation of Additions,
restart the machine.
9) Now select the respected OS in Vitual Box and
open the Settings of Guest OS
10) Go to "Share Folder" and create a
entry under Machine Folder, like
Folder
Path -- C:\ { u can put the folder path
u want to share with Guest OS }
Folder
Name -- share {u can use diff also}
select
auto mount
and save the setting
11) After restart of Guest OS, open terminal and
su to root and execute below command
mount -t
vboxsf share /home/dsadmin/Desktop/share
here, first "share" == defined in
"Share Folder" setting of Vbox
second "share" = folder created on Guest
OS
dsadmin == Non root user on Linux
Now, you can see the shared directory which is
mounted on "share" folder on Linux
njoy the simplicity.......
