Apart from this, for 99% of things, VMUB+VBox is great! Should be a “USB Instructions.txt” file in the torrent. I use VMUB+VBox to test all my USB sticks – it’s fast and you can use a USB 3 port and USB 3 drive! The only time I have problems is when the software you are booting from looks for a USB drive or a ‘Removable’ drive – this fails because VBox virtualises the USB drive as a hard disk.Īlso the USB drive will always by hd0 (sda) under VBox when you boot from it. See Tutorial #4 here – and watch my YouTube Video. You can boot directly from a USB drive with VBox really easily! Use DavidB’s new Virtual Machine USb Boot utility. If it isn’t there, then the drive isn’t mounted – which is really quite rare for it to do on most hardware Can you give me more details on the hardware? The startup process looks for the file “F4UBCDMiniXPStart.cmd” on all attached drives and sets it to the first one it finds, so if you can see the drive from “My Computer” on the MiniXP desktop, it should be detected. As for not finding the drive or showing a blank desktop, well really not sure. Of course, if you’re connecting the ISO to VirtualBox and not the USB drive, that should work perfectly. I do my virtual testing with a virtual drive when I’m developing F4UBCD, but after it’s past that stage, I run it off USB on a real computer then create an ISO out of it.

In general, USB 2.0 devices won’t show up at all (even if you tell it to connect one) if you don’t have some kind of extra add-on pack installed, and the host has to “give up” the device willingly, which it rarely does. VirtualBox doesn’t work well with USB at all – getting USB to work right in VBox is one of the hardest things to get it to do.
