#13551 closed defect (obsolete)

Can't access external USB hard disk

Reported by: teo8976 Owned by:
Component: USB Version: VirtualBox 4.3.18
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description

Ubuntu 14.04 host, Windows 7 64 bit guest.

I have an IOMega USB hard drive connected through a USB hub to my computer.

  • I connect it physically
  • I connect it to the virtual machine by right-clicking on the devices icon and selecting it. It appears as connected

Expected result: after automatically installing drivers in the guest Windows system (if needed), the disk should be visible as a disk unit in Window's file explorer

Observed result:

  • I hear Window's sound indicating that a device has been connected
  • The first time that I do this, the drivers are installed
  • then NOTHING happens
  • the disk is not visible anywhere.

I'm almost sure this is a regression.

Please attach a VBox.log file for a VM session when you try to pass-through the USB device to the guest.
