Hi!
I am a new user of this feature and tool and would like to transfer data an=
d info to and from Windows Xp in the Virtualbox running on a Linux Ubuntu p=
latform.
My first version of Virtualbox was 2._ _ _ which said it did not support th=
at feature.
Therefore, I upgraded to 3._ _=A0_ which supports it but the flash does not=
show nor appear in the XP window.
How do I get to use my flash on both parallel running systems? =0A =

Totally the wrong list for that sort of question. It's not even remotely
related to PHP...

You want to skip the OSE version and get the version that has USB
support built in. The open source edition does not have USB support due
to licensing (or somesuch) issues.

Alternatively you can set up a shared folder so that a folder on your
Ubuntu host can be mapped to a drive in the Windows XP guest. The latter
is more convenient for sharing your uh.. PHP data amongst multiple guests.

Cheers,
Rob.
