The VirtualBox Guest Additions consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the operating system for better performance and usability. One of the usability features required in this guide is automated logons, which is why you need to install the Guest Additions in the virtual machine. For a Windows 7 desktop template, you also enable Windows media redirection for enhanced playback of multimedia content played in Windows Media Player (including content displayed in Internet Explorer).
Dec 04, 2015 Why do this? If you feel nostalgic for a bit of Windows 9x action, or you just want to play some old games that are between DOS and Windows XP, you can either build a retro PC gaming rig, or you can test the water with VirtualBox.
In the Window containing the running virtual machine, select Install Guest Additions from the Devices menu, as shown in Figure 6.11.

When the AutoPlay window is displayed (prompting you to run the VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe program) as shown in Figure 6.12, close the window without installing the Guest Additions. Closing the window leaves the ISO image used to install the Guest Additions inserted in the virtual CD/DVD drive. Mp3 naruto song. You need to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions from the command line to get all the features we need.

In the virtual machine, on the Windows Start menu, type run in the search field and press Return. The Run dialog is displayed. Enter D:VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe /with_autologon /with_vboxmmr in the Open field, as shown in Figure 6.13, and press the Return key. If you are preparing a Windows XP desktop template, you can omit the /with_vboxmmr command line switch.

The VirtualBox Guest Additions Setup wizard closes and the virtual machine is rebooted. When the virtual machine reboots, log in.
Next, you need perform some additional configuration in the virtual machine, as described in Section 6.5, “Additional Virtual Machine Preparation”.
To get stuff into a Win98 virtual machine running in VirtualBox on a Linux host, VirtualBox shared folders are (as I understand it) not an option because there are no ‘Guest Additions’ for Win98. But there are various tricks to try. Using network connectivity is one way. One of the simplest is to use genisoimage. At a command prompt on a Linux host, typing
gives
To create a vanilla ISO9660 filesystem image in the file cd.iso,
where the directory cd_dir will become the root directory
of the CD, call:
where the directory cd_dir will become the root directory
of the CD, call:
genisoimage -o cd.iso cd_dir
hence, I can just put the files I want to get into Win 98 in a directory and use genisoimage to make an iso file of the directory then put the iso in VirtualBox’s virtual CD drive using the ‘Devices’ menu (usually at the top of the VM).
However, it is no good for getting stuff out again, since the iso is read-only.
How about allowing the VM to access a USB stick? I started by finding ‘nusb36e.exe’ or similar on some trustworthy website, and installed it on the Win98 guest (ah, but how did I get the file into it? Well, I could have browsed the web from inside the VM, but I just used the genisoimage trick noted above), noting the instructions about removing previously defined USB devices (and other unidentified devices) first, by opening Device Manager in Win98 (note I am using Win98 SE. If using First Edition, the USB driver install is a little different). Also, on rebooting I did not let Windows try to install/find any new devices; I just cancelled any dialogues it popped up.
When I rebooted lots of ‘ghost’ drives seemed to appear in Windows Explorer, but when I put a USB stick into the host and made sure it was activated in the ‘Devices’ -> ‘USB Devices’ menu on the top of the VM window, I could indeed see the USB stick inside the VM.
I could indeed copy files to it. Then, if I ejected it from the Win 98 box (left click on green USB eject arrow on bottom right of Win 98 screen and eject the relevant drive), and then deselected it from the VirtualBox ‘Devices’ menu, I could mount it on my Linux desktop and see the files I had copied out of the Win 98 VM.

Hence, to get files in and out of a Win 98 VM, you can go via a the network or via a USB stick.
