I`m usin open suse 10.2 as a host and vbox 1.4 with winxp pro as a guest.Everything works fine but...there always an "but" .... the usb port is not working.
In fact all I need is to read opensuse partitions & ntfs from winxp as a guest from vbox.
Any ideeas ?

Dont use native Partitions in a Guest!

Share the Folders as "Shared Folders" and use in the Guest the "net use" command to access the folders.

You have to mount the drives on the linux host.

For Example "/dev/sda1" => "/mnt/disk"

In Guest Settungs add a Shared Folder with Name "disk" and Path "/mnt/disk".
