USB HDD not captured by VirtualBox

[Aurelian51]

Hi,

Current Situation: After a failure of my computer I want to restore Windows 10 on VirtualBox 5.0.8 (r 103449) with VirtualBox Extension Pack 5.0.8 (r 103449)

Currently Windows 7 "factory" is installed on VMBox (and I  am upgrading to Windows 10 "factory").

Here's the problem: I need access to my backup USB drive but I cannot see it in VirtualBox :

HDD / USB driver may not load ?? or HDD/USB unable to be captured by VirtualBox ??


Remarks:

1- USB wireless mouse works normally on host >> VirtualBox USB CONTROLER seems be working properly

2- HDD / USB works perfectly on the host system

3- USB key storage do not work on VirtualBox ( same problem as HDD/USB )

4- ( I ejected the USB drive on the host system to enable VirtualBox to capture it. )


Please, Please, Help me! ! ! ? ? Thank you

If you want to access host files from a guest then you may find shared folders much easier to use than USB redirection. If you insist on using the latter then you need to install the Extension Pack.

Sorry, but I don't regard assertions as evidence. Evidence would be a VM log file: with the VM fully shut down, right click and "Show Log" in the GUI, save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip, and attach the zip here.

Hi,

Situation has evolved since updates installation!..

Now USB storage keys are visibles by VirtualBox system : Windows10 installation files are availables and installation of Win10 should be possible for upgrade Win7 !

Seems problem is now resolved, Thank you mpack.
