Can't see your USB flash drive?

If you run [b]fdisk -l[/b] and don't see your flash drive then check the following:

1) Does your VM have USB ports, that is, does it have USB controller hardware? If not, you will need to add one.

2) Did you capture the USB flash drive from the Windows host? If not, you will need to select and capture your USB flash drive so your guest VM has it.

I've updated the Howto on the Resources page based on your questions last night on how to do these things:
