Hi,
I created my VirtualBox VM using the script from
http://www.halfdog.net/Misc/TipsAndTricks/VirtualBox.html
in which it adds USB support like this:
# Add usb if needed
vboxmanage modifyvm "${_setup_vboxName}" --usb on --usbehci on
However, when I plug in an USB key in host, the VirtualBox VM guest
doesn't see the USB key.
What's the right way to config VirtualBox VM so that USB key in host can
be accessed from within VM?
Thanks
If you are using the GUI, check the appropriate box in the Settings panel.
Otherwise Google suggests several sites that illustrate it, such as this
one:

Wait: Have you installed the OSE version, or the closed source version?
You may need to also install the "Extension Pack". The USB
functionality is in there.The Extension Pack also has RDP and network boot.
Also, you really should try to install the "Guest Additions" if you
haven't already.
