A late addition to this thread:
I just got an external USB drive and wanted to access it from my XP
guest. I couldn't figure it out, but I did remember seeing this thread.
i did the steps in the first posting (or at least the first one I still
have) and it worked. then I went to look at the virtualbox forum post
whose URL is above. I see it has us commenting out the /proc/usb things
in rc.sysinit. I've done that, but I assume I need to reboot to see the
result (and I don't reboot unless forced to), but I also wonder what
else I'm breaking by commenting out those lines. Anybody got any ideas
on that?
Thanks!
