USB drives not populated to the My Computer window on guest
When I plug in a USB drive into my Windows XP virtual guest, the guest recognizes the device and it is listed in the device manager. However the drive never appears in the My Computer group, so I can't access it. Any suggestions? I'm running Win XP SP1 as a guest, and Win 7 Home Primium SP1. I've tried deleting and re adding the usb filters with no success.

yes, it worked briefly then the guest hardware wizard went crazy and locked up the system. After the reboot, it was the conditions I described. I'm hoping to get it back without a re-install of the VM.stefan.becker wrote:Extension Pack is installed?!
