VirtualBox - Connect CD Drive and USB Ports 

I looked everywhere for an answer and found nothing and here a 5 year old video did the job perfectly, thank you.

sigh. I need to add a cd drive that I connect via usb, and an external hard drive. Seems to be difficult to find these videos. Yours somehow already has the ide controller, and I can't seem to find something yet to guide me on how to do that.

my options don't look like that. My virtual box is an .iso does that matter?

I know things have changed quite a bit with VirtualBox, but I still can't get the CD or USB to be recognized. Any tips on getting it to work on VirtualBox 6.1

mY MAN. Thank you. Got old garage PC rUNNNG wINDOWS 7 pRO. iNSTALLED lINUX mINT 19.3 on it. Got virtual box installed this will help to run windows 7 pro OS to play my bluerays.

Sei un grande!! Complimenti

Thanks, worked out just the way it was supposed to!

Thank you, this works for VirtualBox-5.2.44-139111-Win. I couldn't get it to work for the newer VirtualBox-6.1.12-139181-Win, but my old CD games work, so whatev!!

This, sadly, did not seem to help me one bit :/ I am trying to get a game to work through virtual CD-ROM drives on a virtual WINXP, but it won't work as it keeps telling me to input the CD into the CD-ROM drive, which is what i don't get since the "CD" should already be on the virtual CD-ROM drive and therefore work. But it doesn't and i'm just looking into how to maybe fix it or something, if you know anything that might help please let me know. Thanks

thanks man, it helped connecting my usb to install freerunning (not sure if the game works yet). Good quality video and audio. quick tutorial and download. keep up

Neat, worked for CD drive - thanks

Im trying to install pfsense from a cd on a virtualbox. how do I make it see my CD? (i tried what was shown in the video, but it doesnt work for me)

is it possible to run CD games through virtual box? with out requiring the service pack installations on my "real" operating system, thank you!

when I get to usb devices in the settings tab, there is nothing there to set...even after installing the correct expansion pack..I dont get it.

This also works for Mac OSX Mavericks, THANKS!!!

Hi thank for the video, Any idea why I do not have a Storage selection in my virtual box? or do you know how I can add the option?

How do I run XP in Virtual box than load my old games on XP? Can I clone an active XP os than put it in a USB to run in Virtual Box? Thank you

This has only helped on my External HDD. My USB still does not appear...

Thank you very much. I really appreciate and like you for this useful guidance.

It worked. When I selected D drive, it was not being reconized. Eventually I tried picking it as E drive and than it was able to connect (shows as D on virtualbox). It is extremely slow though but at least it's working. Thanks.

It says "Failed to install the Extension Pack".

do you know if this will work for Mac Os High Sierra, running VB with Windows 7 64bit installed, I cant get my USBs to connect to VB OS Windows 7.. I Tried to put the check mark in the usb 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0 I have an external hard drive i use 300gb, EZ Upgrade 3.0 - SATA only my mac os can find it. and I get an error message. here is a screenshot of the error message. www.mediafire.com/view/r1zu0zkrqrk5wzm/Screen_Shot_2018-03-11_at_8.57.58_AM.png if you can help me to fix this I would greatly appreciate it!

Can anyone tell me how I can use an sd card on a vartiual machine?

My USB key isn't even recognise

Much easier way that will allow 3.0 usb access and get around driver issues. Create a shared folder. Create a new folder in the usb drive of choice. Place all item of usb drive in new folder. Create link of new folder in shared folder. Done.

¡GRACIAS!

Thank you - my interface is slightly different - I clicked on 'empty'
