Did you have a look at the VirtualBox user manual at:
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders
You should ensure that you have VirtualBox Guest Additions installed
and, if using version 4.0, it is worth installing
VirtualBox_Extension_Pack - how to do it is all in the pages for the
user manual -
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/
Follow those instructions and you should be able to setup a mapped
network drive for a shared folder fairly easily - I have this working
on several machine by following those instructions and it works well.
I presume you are using the Oracle VirtualBox installed from the main
website (you can set up a yum repo file and install it all from yum):

I hope this helps.
Thanks to all but I can't mess with this any longer due to my
usage limitations. I'm limited to 17 gigs down in 30 days and
I'm at the 80% mark now and getting a warning. Every time I
bring up Windows it seems it wants to download something else
and we've run up 2 gigs just today.
Again thank you for the help. A limitation of this satellite
system that I don't usually have any problem with ...
