Hi:
My host is Windows and the Guest is OPenSuse 12.3. Using VB 4.2.18 with ext pack installed.

I want to use my external hard drive with VM. In VB, I clicked on Settings, USB, and then tried to enable both check boxes. I had no problem enabling the first box but the second one (USB controller) will not let me check it to enable it.

Did you install the extension pack?
How to install Extension Pack

Yes I installed the pack. Downloaded both VB and pack at same time installed both

Post the results of the following in a command window. Also state the version of VirtualBox you are using.

Note: you will need to be in the same directory that has VBoxManage.exe

VB 4.2.18 r88780

Sorry but I am not familiar on how to get to "same directory that has VBoxManage.exe". I entered the command you gave and said that is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

Is there a way to copy and paste these command window results?

I found the file VBoxManage.exe

I tried to open it but Unable.....I forgot how to get to point where to set open all files....

you are on the wrong thread Dharan.

You open a command window and then change to the directory that has VBoxManage.exe, then type VBoxManage list extpacks.

When I open the command window , it has C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator and the cursor. What do I type after that to change directory? The VBoxManage.exe file is in C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox.

cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox

Was the guest shut down (not saved state)?
That's the only other reason why you would not be able to enable USB2 in the settings that I can think of.

Thanks Perryg....That fixed it
