virtualbox.org

i entered a filter to use USB device, also read and check the documentation and did all those things, but the Windows XP inside my virtualbox in my UBUNTU 8.10 doesnt work. It opens in the ubuntu the disk on key but not in the windows.

Please give more information, like we ask in the Forum Posting Guide you should have read before posting here. The VirtualBox FAQ states what is needed for USB.

Listen, if i post here is because i have read in the forum and also in the documentation.
I can see he usb devices like DIsk on key, printer, mouse, but see them like disabled at the inferior menu where you have all the icons .

You have no idea how many users post here without reading that. And even if they read it, they don't always understand. Something you fail to do too, maybe for a part. Because it clearly states to give as much info as possible, like error messages, things you've done, etc. You fail to give that info. You only state "it doesn't work". Well, we can't work with that, just like a mechanic can't work with "my car doesn't start".

i have tried for a long time to make it work , i full understand you, and i support your work, and love open source community.
Just i didn;t understand what im doing not well because i installed the correct version (not the open source one) of VM .
I will try tomorrow one more time to check all the things you say the user must check before posting like errors..and else..
then maybe i will come back to the forum....

This is the small problem of open source projects that they don;t FULL work and there are people like me that don;t have a lot of time to check and recheck why the software doesn;t work... but i love it

thank you Sasquatch

There's an entry about USB in the VirtualBox FAQ, as I stated before. Read that first, do what it says and you should be in business.
