Flash Drive Diappears

[satimis]

Hi folks,

 

Virtualization software - KVM

host - Fedora 12 64bit

guests - Windows Server 2008, Ubuntu 9.10, Debian 5.0 and Fedora 12, all 64bit

 

The virtual machine is working.

 

Flash drive (USB) can be attached to all guests and are visible on them except Windows Server 2008. On host ping Windows Server 2008 works without problem. Windows Server 2008 ping host also works without problem

 

Please advise where to check and how to solve the problem. TIA

I would check that the usb drive is enabled for the Windows 2008 guest.

Hi BSchwarz,

 

Whether you meant to enable USB drive on Windows Server 2008? If YES, where can I find such an item? Thanks

 

On host I run the same command to attach the USB flash drive to all VMs including Windows Server 2008. All printout are "Successful". USB flash drive appears and works on all VMs except Windows Server 2008.

 

I suspect whether it is caused by driver issue. I found a "!" mark on USB mass storage. I'm now searching for the 64bit USB driver as well as audio driver. It does not come on the DVD supplied by Asus. All drivers on the said DVD are for 32bit version OS.
