Is this a recent change? Last time I ran Windows in vbox it would download the needed guest additions when you chose that option, which also ensures you get the right version for your install version of virtual box.

I know Virtualbox if you install directly from them for mac or windows they are not incuded because they actually contain the Non-open source parts, namely the windows os drivers ect. but some distros may include them as part of the vbox repo.

These should actually already be included w/ virtualbox. There's a menu item for each vm that says "install guest additions" which puts a virtual disc into the vm to install it w/o going to the website

The main virtualbox website. It should have a Li k for the add-ons. Download and double click it should trigger virtualbox to install them. You then have a new option in your vm's to install them.

Much easier than that. Head to the vbox site and get the extras. That will give you the guest add-ons bundle you need.

I have a windows7 install disk and I have a unlock code. I was trying to put the os in a virtual box when it suddenly asked for drivers which apparently are not included on the disk. Would someone be as kind as to send me every driver made for windows7? or you could direct me to where I could download them. The correct command to download them all would be: wget -r <address>
??????????????
