Hi,

my host is Windows 7 x64 and i have installed VirtualBox latest version.
in VirtualBox i have a guest F14 with latest updates.

when i connect my external USB disk to PC, VirtualBox detects it and make it available for guest (F14) as Mass storage.
However, under F14 i'm not able to find this disk.
1. how can i check for sure that USB disk is available or not ?
2. how should i mount it if it is not already mounted ?

basically data on this USB disk should be recovered and transfered to new PC (windows system).
Western Digital (WD) have their NAS bookWorld as ext.network/USB disk with Linux partitions on it.

thank a lot for help.

As far as I know you must have guest additions installed to use the shared folder between the two, host and guest

Also on Fedora Oracle VM Virtualbox is the one with usb support.


If you are using Windows as the host machine try VMware 6.5 or later and install Fedora under it


it seems you didn't understand.
i do not want to share files/folder between host and guest.
i want my usb disk available under F14 and access to its data but i can not see this USB disk. So i'm asking how can i check where is the problem under F14.
