I'm using the latest version of both Virtual Box (4.1) and CentOS (6.2). I would like my Western Digital USB drive to be recognized by my VirtualBox guest operating system. My host system, Windows 7, recognizes it. It is also recognized when I open the settings of my VM. I've checked both Enable USB Controller and Enable USB 2.0 Controller and I've installed the Extension Pack for Virtual Box.But when I launch the VM the USB devices icon in the right bottom corner shows No USB Devices attached and, of course, no USB drives are detected by CentOS.
My VirtualBox Virtual Machine doesn't detect my USB attached disk

I found the answer :It was because i've plugged my usb 3.0 usb drive on a 3.0 port, and that was he probem, VirtualBox doesn t seem to recognize 3.0 usb drives. but when I put it on a 2.0 usb drive, It works !
