[solved] Can not access my usb HD

[Plagrö]

I am not able to access my USB HD.

VBoxGuestAdditions are installed.
When I try in a Win7 VM, that is startet, go to ->drives->usb->check my HD, then I get this error:

Code: Select all

Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_PDM_NO_USB_PORTS).
Fehlercode: 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Komponente: 
ConsoleWrap
Interface: 
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

What I have already done:
An over-installation of VirtualBox.

-> But this error remains.

Guest Additions have nothing to do with USB. It's the host extension pack you need to install.

Thank you.

But the extensions are already installed:

Nevertheless I get the eror from post #1.

If you're trying USB3, Windows 7 does not have native USB3 support, drivers are needed.

Carefully go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If you finish all the steps 1-7 and cannot get your USB device into the guest OS, carefully post the outputs of the commands in step 8 as text in

Code: Select all

 tags, not screenshots. Zip and post the logs step 8 call for, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Thank you.

After having started my win7 VM and installed this

I can access my USB 3 HD.


Warning: But before we must choose in VM settings->USB USB3. If we choose USB2, we can not install the driver.

Great! Glad you're up and running.
