VirtualBox and USB Hard Disk

Post by array81 »

I have create an Windows XP image on my USB Hard Disk it's works without problem.

Is there a way to see on my Virtual Windows XP the other part of USB Hard Disk (Windows XP use only a small part of it)?

Search the site for recent discussions about adding a second NIC for "Host Only Adapter" network mode, then map a network shared folder as a drive letter in the guest. This provides best speed.
