Win7 VM does not see flash on ubuntu host

Post by miner_tom »

I have read several posts concerning this and have followed what directions I have found. https://askubuntu.com/questions/25596/h ... virtualbox.

I have loaded the latest VM, 5.2.22 and have loaded the extension package. My login is listed in the virtualbox group. Also have set USB 2.0 in the settings section of the VM. Nothing that I have done has been successful. When the Win7 VM loads and runs, no flash drive that I insert is recognized.

Thank You
Tom

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.
