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.

did you install the vbox guest additions for xp (ie under xp)?

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