usb storage for virtual machine

Post by quas »

Hello, I am running a win 8.1 vm under mac os lion (10.8.4) and I am trying to make my vm identify a memory stick. I went to settings - ports tab - USB and added USB Flash Drive, but the vm still cannot see my memory stick. Is there anything I missing?

Thanks

See my response in the "Found big solution to usb Problem" thread posted yesterday. The questions I asked would seem to equally apply here as well.
