Loading ...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
RidZ its my fans. I dot know who he/she is.
