Virtualbox requires the user have write access to "usbfs" devices for USB access. As root perform the following:

 

Mkdir/vbusbfs
Echo "NONE/vbusbfs usbfs RW, devgid =$ (awk-F: '/vboxusers/{print $3}'/etc/group ), devmode = 664 0 0 ">/etc/fstab
Mount-

 

 

If
Running centos as a guest OS in a VM the same development and dkms
Packages shoshould be installed in the VM prior to installing vbox guest
Additions.

After performing the preceding operations, the problem is solved: connect mp3 to the host without the need to mount it. Click the USB icon in the VM to view a rock MP3 file, which can be selected for use in Windows XP.

In addition, you have also performed operations according to the methods described in some forums on the Internet: Add logon users to the vboxusers group.
