Hi, I'm running VBox 2.2.4 PUEL on a Debian Lenny 5.0 host. My guest OS is Vista Enterprise. Although I have USB and 2.0 support enabled in VBox, and a filter created and enabled for my USB stick (mass storage device), it is simply not available in Vista. It u/mounts fine in Lenny, but does not show in Vista at all. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Re: USB mass storage
Probably you must enable USBFS on Hust. See FAQ and User Manual.
The new approach for USB doesnt work on all Distros. For me it works without USBFS on Ubuntu Jaunty. Another Host (same Hardware) with Suse 11.1 i must enable USBFS.
