Or were you referring to the Linux host or XP guest?
a)Sorry, Moderators, I forgot to change the title -- I'll go & chastise myself!! b) John..... I normally run Fedora, so I guess it is the host, then I start Virtualbox inn Fedora, which starts up & provides me with a list of virtual machines to start. I click on XP, which starts up (I guess as guest), then across the top of the XP screen I have 3 titles or tabs "Machine", "Devices" & "Help". The "Devices" tab lists CD/DVD, USB (this in turn lists all detected USB devices with blank markers next to them. Click next to the device you want to use & providing there is no conflict between Windows & Fedora, you should then have the USB device available in My Computer.), Network & Shared Folders. How is your USB disc partitioned? Mine has 2 partitions in NTFS, 2 in ext4. XP only sees the NTFS partitions....
