Hi,

 

I am new to virtualbox and I am using the latest version of it. I am having troubles navigating between the host pc and virtual machines and was wondering how to do it plz?

 

Also, every time I try and connect a flash drive to one of the virtual PC's / servers, I get the following error... " failed to attach the usb device "kingston drive name" to the virtual name server 2019". How do I fix this issue plz
