I am experimenting with running Windows 7 within a VirtualBox VM.
Have no problem with accessing a db which is in the VM's local disk.
The machine is also setup for dual boot, and I wonder if I can store the
FB database file on a device which is accessible when I run "native"
Windows and I can also access it when I run it in the VM.
I tried it with VM shared folders but I get a connection error.
Will also try with USB when I get that support to work within in the VM,
but I wondered if anyone has maybe some better solution for this.
