So.... your real problem is... you can't run your scanner under Ubuntu (or Sane doesn't see it). What kind of scanner is it? Make? Model? How connected? It might be easier to fix your scanner than get VB to see your USB HDD. Tony -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
