Hello virtual box fans,

I can not access to USB from Virtual Windows XP or Windows 7.
Also I do not see the "maybe" mounted USB at the explorer.

Found the same problem on this link

(sorry it is german)

But the solution is for Windows gents.

I am using the USB Device Filters -> Add the USB stick and click ok.
But in the explorer there isn't any USB stick mounted.

Typed in the shell of my host system (Mac os x Snow Leopard)
:shell$ VBoxManage list usbhost
USB stick is detected and the "Current State" is captured.

What can I do?? Do you have any link or help for me??

Best wishes
And_virtual

Current VirtualBox version 4.1.6 for mac os x snow leopard

Hey hey, solved the problem... maybe for all other who have the same problem.


Check the USB-Controller driver!!!

Go to the device manager and check if it is everything okay, otherwise you will see a yellow interrogation mark!

Windows XP includes the USB-Controller with the service 1 package. For myself it works.

But use the USB Filter from the virtual machine as well as!!

Best wishes and good night!
