How to connect an external drive by USB?

Post by Alooha »

Hi,
I don't understand how to do to connect an external drive, or a stick, by USB. The help doesn't help me.
On the real PC there is Win 10. As guest systems I have installed Win10, Ubuntu and Linux Mint and I would like to be able to connect to an external drive (or stick) from all these operation systems.
Kind regards

Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts.

If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post, #8: Asking for help and post the information requested.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
