edemk,

You'll get more responses by posting to another forum and not as a response to this post. To do this click the forums link at the top of the page and select the forum that matches your problem and there should be a new post button around there somewhere.

Regards,

Alunduil

make sure you installed VirtualBox PUEL not OSE, otherwise you will be running in circles
here is a useful link to enable USB support on ubuntu http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-t...t-111715.shtml

and in the virtualBox menu, there is an entry that says " install guest additions" that will let you share a folder.
