Flash Drives are not detected

Post by S-NESH »

Hello there,

Im using Ubuntu 10.10 as my primary OS and installed Windows 7 as guest OS on VirtualBox 4.0. So, when I run this Windows 7, the flash drives that I connect to the laptop isn't being detected. But other USB devices like mouse and keyboard are working well. Its is very hard to not have flash drive support on the guest OS. What shall I do to get it run? Need help. Thanks in advance to those help me (=

You need the ExtPack for Version 4
Also make sure that you have your name in the Linux hosts vboxusers group.
