Hi I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty as host and Virtualbox 2.1.4 from Synaptic. Xp in VB does not recognize my HP 1020 or any USB storage.
Guest Additions are installed. Any help?
No USB printing or storage

Re: No USB printing or storage
Read the FAQ here in the Forum. Or read the Manual. There are topics about USB and USBFS.
And you must use PUEL-Version!

Re: No USB printing or storage
Add yourself to the vboxusers group
Also, since your running an older version you may have to update the fstab file. Also in order for usb to work you can't use the OSE version.
Code: Select all
usermod -aG vboxusers <your username>
