VirtualBox on OS-X Host – howto mount an external USB drive

Post by noggel »

Hallo everybody!

I'm using Mac OSX Host

System Mac Mini OS 10.8.2 with VirtualBox 4.6.2.
Virtual machine openSUSE 12.2 32Bit

2 Problems,
1st the USB device like an external harddisk is not mountable,
2nd the Guest Enviroment can not be installed on that virtual machine (openSUSE 12.2).

Does anyone have a tip or a documentation for me?

Thanks,
Best Regards

Okay, it seem that it runs with a guest system Windows. I can not test it.

So I will delete completely this VirtualBox from my System,
an try to reinstall with latest releases again. Including actual Extension Pack.

I come back to you to a later time.

Thank you.
