You need to fix this by enabling the host I/O cache in the storage section of the guest
Code: Select all
00:00:02.047 Console: VM runtime error: fatal=false, errorID=Ext4PartitionDetected message="The host I/O cache for at least one controller is disabled and the medium '/home/jack/VirtualBox VMs/win7/win7.vdi' for this VM is located on an ext4 partition. There is a known Linux kernel bug which can lead to the corruption of the virtual disk image under these conditions.
Try setting the guests RAM to 2048 instead.
Code: Select all
00:00:02.101 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000119b00000 (4725932032)
Is the Win7 guest 32 or 64 bit?
What is the actual version of Ubuntu?

hey, so i don't know what that the Ram has to do with the usb but i did (didn't work). anyways i added a blank filter, so now i can use my usb stick and the printer and the iPod,
however windows does not racognize my big 500GB extern harddrive as well as my 300GB extern harddrive,
so what should i do now ?
second question is, can i share i folder between ubuntu and windows, means when i put something in it i can use it from ubuntu and windows? somehow like dropbox ?

thx for your help it's working now, i added some specific filters for the harddrives above 16GB (seems that it needs that) so it's working now,
what's with the sharing folder, does that exist?

Chapter 4.3 Shared folders in your VirtualBox users manual.
You might want to read Chapter 3.10.1 USB settings and in particular the part about setting filters on HDD.
