Thanks for the tip !.

Your info "indirectly" helped me setup a FreeDos disk.

On my Win7 (Prof / SP1) box, double-clicking, does NOT mount the VHD file.

Are you sure you haven't installed some third party "disk mount" software ?

But anyway ..

I had installed the ImDisk program a while ago, for mounting ISO disks, and that program is able to mount any of the VirtualBox hd types.

So, mount the vhd/vdi/vmdk file with ImDisk, copy files over, unmount, then start FreeDos / Virtuabox, run Emu41 or M41.exe

Before I found your post, a search for "VirtualBox FreeDos shared files" was leading to posts about installing networking / networking shared drives, and a mess of other convoluted "stuff".
