I am running TinyXP in a virtual machine via Sun's VirtualBox on my Ubuntu laptop, I need to move some large files from this VM over to my netbook and uploading and redownloading these files is not really a viable option. So I figured moving them over on one of my USB drives would be the optimal strategy here. Wrong! Apparently my thumbdrive is not detected by the XP VM, only by Ubuntu. Any way I can get the VM to recognize the USB drive and not Ubuntu? Ideas anyone?
