Transfer from Main Computer to Virtual Box
#1
Here's what I have:
Main computer has Windows 7-64-bit - Memory 8 GB  (used to have Window 7 - 32 bit)
Virtual Box is Oracle Version 4.3.26

Problem is the following: I have a Music Cataloger software which was working perfectly until I got this new computer with Windows 7 64-bit. The 32 bit software is not compatible with 64 bit. A friend of mine suggested that I install a Virtual Box with Windows 7 32-bit which I did and not comes the real problem.  I went to YouTube and found a video clip which give instructions on the ''How To'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r62otAIwHYs   I created an image as per instructions but was unable to transfer. I then went to another video clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STcH-IYG4BY which illustrates the transfer from a Window 7 to XPPro.  I tried it but  I still was unable to transfer the file.
Plse see the 2 MWSnap010 & 011 that I got as an answer. Yet the file to transfer is exactly the same name which I copied in the Run section as per instructions.
Does anyone know a simpler way to transfer this very important cataloger called CDTrustee. It contains about 15,000 cd and dvds with corresponding photos of cover, backcover,  and extensive notes which took many hours over the last 12 years. Eventually, my son will have this collection along with the cataloger. Am retired 79 yrs old and not the computer savviest Smile

I really need help
Thanking you in advance

Compton,
Would you be meaning Guest Addition from Oracle or exactly Guess edition ?
I typed guess edition and in Google, nothing of such appears.
Sorry , but like I said, I'm not very savvy

Thanks Britec for your links.
I did download earlier Guest Additions which is compatible with Virtual Box vcersion 4.3.26 and still was unable to make the transfer of my CDTrustee complete file from my Main computer to Virtual Box.
I also looked at the links you recommended. But as I tried to download the 4.3.8 RC1, a small window appeared telling me that I would be downgrading to an earlier version. So I did not download.
My last resort seems to find an expert capable of entering into my system with Team Viewer ( as we speak on Skype ) and show me how to do it. I simply cannot succeed . As earlier mentioned, my experience in computers is relatively nil; even if I tried to follow instructions from video clips on YouTube. if this is possible, I'll be please to donate to Britec.
