Question about the usb not recognized...

Post by matteoserafin »

Hi...
I have installed XP Professional with SP2 (guest) on my MacBook with OSX 10.5 (host)
The usb peripherical works fine.... No problem with pen drive ecc..ecc.. but I've a question...

I have another usb peripherical, this is not recognized from OSX 10.5 because probably there aren't driver.... Can it work in the VM with Windows without recognized of OSX???? In Windows guest works of sure with activesync...

How can I do?

Thanx...

I found a workaround that works with my USB flash drives.

Insert your USB drive.

Once it appears on the OSX desktop, eject it.

Now mouse down to the USB icon on Windows and it should appear when you mouse over that icon.

Please let me know if this works for you.

I have put the empty filter in the last position so the other filters goes well and speedly...
