Hi,<br>
<br>
my host is Windows 7 x64 and i have installed VirtualBox latest version.<br>
in VirtualBox i have a guest F14 with latest updates.<br>
<br>
when i connect my external USB disk to PC, VirtualBox detects it and make it available for guest (F14) as Mass storage.<br>
However, under F14 i'm not able to find this disk.<br>
1. how can i check for sure that USB disk is available or not ?<br>
2. how should i mount it if it is not already mounted ?<br>
<br>
basically data on this USB disk should be recovered and transfered to new PC (windows system).<br>
Western Digital (WD) have their NAS bookWorld as ext.network/USB disk with Linux partitions on it.<br>
<br>
thank a lot for help.<br>
<br>

As far as I know you must have guest additions installed to use the shared folder between the two, host and guest<br>
<br>
Also on Fedora Oracle VM Virtualbox is the one with usb support.<br>
<br>
<br>
If you are using Windows as the host machine try VMware 6.5 or later and install Fedora under it<br>
