Hello,

I have the following setup.

Eeepc 1505HA
OS is Slackware
Linux Kernel is 2.6.33
USB Devices - CDROM drive, 2 external hard disks, 1 iPod
VirtualBox (vbox-puel)
Guest OS - Windows XP

The problem I am having is that Linux OS is seeing the USB devices but
the XP(VM) is only seeing the CDROM and nothing else. In vbox, I did
configure the USB section with the device filters and the XP is still
not seeing the devices. How do I get XP to access the USB devices?

Any help appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

NJ

Have you made sure that the user running virtualbox is in the group
vboxusers?
