External SATA Drive not recognized on VB running Ubuntu

[Jean Paul]

I have a Virtual Box running Ubuntu on my Windows 7 machine.

I have the following external SATA Hard drive Reader.

Data-Express-DE50-Dock

Ubuntu recognizes only ONE SATA Hard Drive. If I insert another hard drive, Ubuntu does not recognize the drive at all.

I already add the filter for the USB driver on VB settings. Another idea?

I run Ubuntu from a Live CD and it recognized all the Hard drives I inserted in the External SATA Reader.

Thanks for the help in advance

A VM does not use physical drives, except via USB or raw access.

eSATA is not USB.

Search your user manual for "shared folders".

I am using a SATA to USB converter. So the first hard drive that it was inserted in the reader, Ubuntu detects every time but if I swap it for another hard drive. Ubuntu does not recognize the new hard drive.

I am wondering if VM associate the reader with the hard drive ID or something.

Thanks

More likely, the VM doesn't see a media change unless the USB device is unplugged/replugged.

I disconnected the usb cable from the sata reader and nothing happened. Any other suggestions?

Nope.
