I've just moved from xp to ubuntu, so I'm a newb, I've managed to use virtualbox ose to create a virtual partition for xp so I can keep using itunes, my understanding is linux doesn't support it yet?

anyway "my computer" in xp only sees the small partition I set aside for it?

how do I get it to recognise my usb external drive that holds the my documents from my old xp?

can't get my podcasts onto itunes with out that?

The OSE edition of VirtualBox does not support USB.
