I could not get USB memory sticks working with a Windows 7 guest on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit and VirtualBox so I installed Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) 64bit in the hope that would work.
I installed VirtualBox (4.0.4_OSE) using the Ubuntu Software Centre and did not expect USB to work but found that Windows XP was fine. This was without the Oracle Extensions Pack.
However, with Windows7 32bit Enterprise, USB is OK with a scanner and printer but not with Memory sticks. Windows Device manager shows a problem with the 'USB Mass Storage Drive' driver: 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'. (In typical Microsoft way this message gives no clue at all to what the problem might be!) I have tried to update the device driver but Windows says it is up to date.
Installing the Oracle Extensions Pack makes no difference.
I have the same version of Windows 7 working fine on a 32bit Centos system.
I have also tried a completely new Ubuntu installation with the latest VirtualBox from virtualbox.org but that was the same.
Any suggestions please?
