Windows VirtualBox failed to attach USB device to Linux Guest
- by joltmode
I have Windows 7 64bit Host system, and I am using VirtualBox 4.1.18 (r78361).
I have an Arch Linux Guest OS.
I have installed VirtualBox Extension Pack (to enable USB2 support) and added my USB device filter to VM.
I have also installed the Guest Additions provided by Arch: virtualbox-archlinux-additions (but I have no idea whether it's actually needed for my environment).
I can see my USB device from VirtualBox Devices menu.
Whenever I am trying to access it, I end up with:
Failed to attach the USB device Kingston DT 100 G2 [0100] to the
virtual machine Archlinux.
USB device 'Kingston DT 100 G2' with UUID
{a836ec33-0f41-4ca7-a31d-09cceaf5d173} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.
Details ?
Result Code: E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)
Component: HostUSBDevice
Interface: IHostUSBDevice {173b4b44-d268-4334-a00d-b6521c9a740a}
Callee: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
From what I have googled, most guides shows how to solve this the other way around - Linux Host to Windows Guest.
How do I resolve this?
Update
I have tried to Eject (virtually, not physically) the device from my Windows Host system and then try to access the Device from Guest. Same error.
