Kali Linux in VirtualBox
Hello everyone,
I started using Linux literally yesterday. I installed a Kali Linux VM in VirtualBox and have been getting familiar with it. The issue I'm having is that one of my USB drives is not being recognized. The error I get is "Failed to attach the USB device to the virtual machine Kali Linux. USB device is busy with a previous request." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you |
You may need to unmount them in the host operating system. In Windows I think you do it by right-clicking the drive in explorer and selecting something like "safely remove".

Thank you. I tried that first. I unmounted it and it still didn't work. I restarted both the VM and the PC and am still getting the same error message.

Is your user (default username in Kali is root) in the "vboxusers" group?
Code:
usermod -a -G vboxusers username |
