Re: Guest fails to capture USB memory stick
Right-click on the VM, "Show in Explorer". ZIP the selected VBOX file and attach it.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

Re: Guest fails to capture USB memory stick
Now wondering how or whether to continue. I owe you some answers to questions, but cannot continue with the guest unable to boot. On the other hand, I have another guest with the same symptoms, but a different version of XP. May I continue with that second one and reply to your questions, or is this the end of the road? Personally, I am anxious to get the USB working with some version of XP, and need only a specific one of my several SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB2s to work with it.

Re: Guest fails to capture USB memory stick
Apologies. I hadn't spotted your last comment before I made my last post. Have (I think) followed your instructions and am attaching V7.7z.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: Guest fails to capture USB memory stick
First of all, to set the USB3 settings to what they're supposed to be, issue the commands:
Second, you seriously need to get rid of your snapshots. Now! 13 live snapshots? You're playing with fire! Start by removing the one before the last one and work your way down, leaving only the last snapshot. Why do you want that many snapshots? Snapshots are fragile, you have to worry about 26 files going wrong right now!
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox" <-- change it if not the default installation VBoxManage setextradata V7 VBoxInternal/Devices/usb-xhci/0/Config/ChipType uPD720201

Re: Guest fails to capture USB memory stick
Thank you for the warning re snapshots - have now removed all but the last one.
Thanks also for the instructions to remove the error in my extradata - the V7.vbox file now reads,
"ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/usb-xhci/0/Config/ChipType" value="uPD720201"/>".
However, the VM fails to boot, giving a notice:-

Re: Guest fails to capture USB memory stick
Socratis, thanks for your help. I intended to install this on my wife's computer, but wanted to first make sure it worked. Have now anyway set it up for her, and it all works fine, USB2.0 detected and captured. Can't label this thread as solved, as it will offer no final solution to anyone with a similar problem, but I learned some important stuff from your comments and instructions.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
