Indeed, my default file system is ext4 so what do I do about this nagging screen? Well, I could do the simple thing of clicking in the box to the left of “Do not show this message again” as seen in the screen shot above. However, I'm a bit of a paranoid control freak and I don't want to later forget that I did that, just in case there be any related future issues. So I am content to do the following:

My IDE Controller is for my CD/DVD devices. My hard drive is connected to a SATA Controller so
I select “SATA Controller”. To the right I see a blank white box to the left of “Use host I/O cache” which I click.
Then I click the “OK” button in the lower right corner and I'm good to go. Now I start my Vista guest operating system and I no longer get the nagging pop-up warning, and I can go back and uncheck the setting any time I need to. Whoo-hoo!





Thank you, this was just what I needed to guide me through this setting
