I have a windows pocket device ie a sat nav. I would like to access it from my Win2k guest in VB via a usb connection. On ubuntu it shows as Disk-1 and another partition as Disk-2 but in win2k via VB only disk-1 appears.

How do I add disk-2?

That didn't do it because it was already ticked. My problem has come down to this:

The sat nav seems to have two partitions. A hidden one and the SD card. I can see the hidden one but can not see the sd card via Virtualbox.

I am accessing the partitions through the VB shared folders but they are not picking up the sd card.
