Running windows programs under Linux

[Peter Goggin]

Further to my earlier message I have installed Virtualbox on my test 
machine. I have installed Windows XP and Office XP in the virtual 
machine. I now want to be able to exchange data betwen the Virtual 
Windows machine and the Ubuntu operating system. So far I have tried 
copying the files to a cd but the virtual machine (Windows XP) claims 
the cd is the wrong format although it was created by a windows XP 
laptop.  I have copied the files to a usb stick but I cannot see how to 
access it from the Virtual XP machine.  Is there any way of accessing 
the virtual machine disk space from the linu host and vice versa?


In many ways Wine would be the best solution since I can find all the 
files  in the liniux home directory, but I cannot get FreeBMD or BMD 
verify to work  in Wine and I cannot use MsAccess in wine because I only 
have Office P and this does not work according to the Wine site.

Regards
