Experience and experience on using USB in the VMware 8 rotten mud Virtual Machine

Recently, the virtual machine has been using the latest version of VMware 8, because the experiment is to use a USB-16g usb flash drive on the physical machine. However, it is not displayed in the VM after it is inserted into the local file. After some ups, I finally got it ready. Please refer to the specific operation steps. Step 1: plug in the USB flash drive on the physical machine. Because I use this book, the physical machine I mentioned here is the book. Test whether the USB flash disk is used normally on the current disk. If it can be used properly, perform the second step. If the USB flash drive does not work properly on the current disk, please replace the USB flash drive ...... Step 2. Start the Virtual Machine VMware 8 and then start the system in the virtual machine. Step 3: Add a hard disk to the virtual system. Click "edit"> "set", select "add", and select "Hard Disk"> "Next". The third item "use physical disk" must be selected here ", because we now want to attach the USB flash disk to the virtual system, and then the USB flash disk is actually a physical disk relative to the virtual system. Here we can see that there are two options in the device: PhysicalDriver1 and PhysicalDriver0. what do they mean? Here we will explain that PhysicalDriver1 is our physical disk USB flash disk, while PhysicalDriver0 is the disk used by our virtual system. To better differentiate between PhysicalDriver1 and PhysicalDriver0, we can also observe the USB flash drive indicators. If you select a USB flash drive, the USB flash drive will flash. Step 4: assign a drive letter to the USB flash drive. We can see that although I have added a hard disk, It is not displayed in the system. In the Disk Manager, we can see that there is Disk 1. Select Disk 1, right-click and select "Change drive letter and path", and then proceed step by step. Now we have successfully added the USB flash drive to the virtual system. PS: At this time, the physical machine cannot access the USB flash disk ......
