MS Windows 7 guest - usb problem
Posted: 11. Sep 2011, 10:22
Hello,
I'm pretty new at virtual box, yesterday i have created a MS Windows 7 x64 as virtual machine on my Mac osX 1.7 lion.
The virtual windows is running smooth, only i have problems with the usb devices.
I use Virtual box version 4.1.2 i have installed the Oracle VM Virtualbox Expansion Pack for 4.1.2
In Virtual machine i can see the Expansion Pack within the settings window.
The USB device that i will use is my Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000.
When i connect the device on my iMac i see the SGT connected as Samsung_Android [0400].
When I'm trying to link it to my virtual machine with the USB icon it says "device is already in use" that's true because the host is taking the device.
When i add the usb device Samsung_Android [0400] to the filter it is not showing anymore at the usb icon, the host is not taking the driver first but the guest isn't getting the device too.
I have the same problem with mass storage usb devices.
Does anyone know this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Greets Dominic B.
