Trying To See My USB on Virtualbox

Post by Shaggy123 »

I'm running Windows 10 on a Linux Ubuntu host. What I need to know which I didn't find in the Tutortials section was how to see my flash drive on Windows. Here is a screen shot of my Windows USB section.

1) That's not your USB section, that's your Serial section.
2) Just because I'm tired of repeating the same answer more than 5 times a day:
- viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82043
- viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82166
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

Also the results of id from the host terminal.

Testy testy! Anyway, thanks for the link. I put extension pack in search and found a bunch of garbage on first two pages so I thought it would be easier to ask!
