How to use flash disk in ubuntu in virtualbox?


Hi all

My host OS is winxp, and guest OS is ubuntu 8.04. I am sure I've configured the setting in VirtualBox that the USB devices are enabled. But when i plug in my flash disk. There is no pop up message saying found a flash disk.
Actually I can't find the flash disk in the "computer" view.Floppy and DVD rom are there, but only without flash disk.

Anybody can help me with this?

    Hm….

    Are You buntu?
    Make a partition with fdisk, assumed u'r flash is mapped to /dev/sda. Flash device will become a single ext2 partition, 128MB and 888 cylinders.
    Here we go:
    fdisk /dev/sda
    Command (m for help):d {enter }
    Selected partition 1
    Command (m for help):n {enter}
    Command action
    e extended
    p primary partition (1−4)
    p {enter}
    Partition number (1−4):1 {enter}

    "Do not make partition as bootable!"
    OKKKKK

    Making an ext2 device (its look like format command at DOS):

    mke2fs /dev/sda1

    Look at lamp at flash led! Off: done.

    Mount flash:
    mount −t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick

    Tou can config in dual ext2/vfat with
    mkdosfs −F 32 /dev/sda1
    mke2fs /dev/sda2

    Mounting:
    mount −t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/fatstick
    mount −t ext2 /dev/sda2 /mnt/memstick

    Hmmmm
