@xvader,
Kalau itu mmg diperlukan silahkan dicoba saja instal ulang WinXP-nya. Buat saja virtual disk yang baru kalau VDI lama sayang dibuang.
Coba juga pakai WinXP SP3, mungkin bisa dikenali.

yup, langkah-langkah di url tersebut juga telah saya coba, semua device usb terbaca di settings virtualbox, namun teteup di guest os (winxp) masih ga kebaca dan ga bisa digunakan satupun. terpaksa untuk usb flash disk, saya akalin dengan shared folder.

virtualbox guest additions juga telah terinstal.

apa harus instal ulang guest os-nya ya? duh…

@xvader,
Waahh Hardy yaahh…
Utk mounting USB di Hardy yg disini sdh coba…??

Mungkin XP-nya tidak mengenali USB-nya ya… Siapa tahu USB tsb butuh driver…

hello,
saya telah melakukan langkah-langkah tersebut, menggunakan ubuntu hardy sebagai host dan winxp sebagai guest, di virtualbox 2.1.0. device-device usb terdeteksi pada settingsnya namun pada winxp device tersebut tidak ada/tidak termount dengan state: unavailable. apa yang terjadi?

@Jack.k
To allow you to add the line maybe you need to use one of this command:
$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab
or
$ sudo nano /etc/fstab
or
$ sudo vi /etc/fstab

What linux distribution are you using?? If you are not using ubuntu, then maybe you will find it on another location.

the line you add to to the fs tab file, my system will not allow me to keep the changes?? how can i change this. Also i do not seen to have ‘ /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh’ file what would be the reason for this?

@Donny Kurnia,
Ok, thx for you info… [peace]
Yes, it should be working good without step 3 and 4 (I think step 1-2 is only for mounting Flash Disk USB) and the rest of them is for mounting another USB such as Printer. CMIIW…

If you do step no 2, you don’t need to restart, but just run this:
sudo mount -a

I do this step, and skip step 3 and 4 completely. It working until now.
