I'm running the latest version of VirtualBox on my MacBook Air (2013 model) on OS X 10.9 Maverick however I cannot seem to use my USB DVD drive with VirtualBox, it just doesn't seem to recognise it at all. If I add a CD/DVD drive to a virtual machine it asks me if I want to use a virtual disk image or Live CD/DVD. Initially I thought the 'Live CD/DVD' option would use the DVD drive however whenever I start up a virtual machine to install an OS, it cannot detect a CD drive. If I go into the Drives options menu, it allows me to select a virtual disk image for the CD drive but there is no mention of my CD/DVD drive at all. If I insert a disc it appears fine on my Mac desktop and I can create a DMG image using Disk Utility which I have done with an old Windows 98 CD but I want to install Windows XP without having to go through the hassle of converting it to a DMG image first. Can anyone advise on what could be the problem?

My USB drive is a Samsung Slim CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive I purchased last year and is plugged directly into my Mac. Posts: 5 Joined: 9.

VirtualBox doesn't support USB boot. Your best bet is to create the DMG file and use that as a virtual CD. I used a CD mounted on a USB drive (Macbook Air Superdrive) to install Windows 7, so Virtualbox recognized the CD as a CD. Now I'm trying to install a program in Win 7. The program is on a CD. The CD icon at the bottom of the window is greyed out, so I clicked on the USB icon.

Message: driver missing. In the system directory ('Computer') the CD drive shows up as D: I used the Windows Toubleshooter to find the driver. It came up with 'Sun VirtualBox Setup Wizard.' Not knowing if I should use that, I attempted to create a disk image using Mac Disk Utility. But the extension is.cdr not.dmg. I tried to create a shared folder with path Z: Macintosh HD Users myname Documents Quicken.

I stored the disk image in that folder. But VM VirtualBox Manager Shared Folders has 'OK' grayed out when I enter path, folder name and select Auto-mount. So now I don't even know if the disk image will work or how to access it without a shared folder. Posts: 98 Joined: 22.

May 2011, 15:59 Primary OS: Mac OS X other VBox Version: OSE other Guest OSses: windowsXP. Managed to get VirtualBox to recognise my DVD drive connected by USB. And am now able to use my DVD drive to download and setup software programs from CD/DVDs. I’m using host Mac OS (El Capitan), guest Windows XP professional 32-bit, VirtualBox 5.0.8.

What worked for me: I did what noteirak advised above (see his screenshots). Went to VirtualBox Manager. Click on Host Drive, then the CD icon (next to IDE Secondary Master). I had to fiddle around a bit, by disconnecting and reconnecting my USB on the Host before it is recognised. Then select the correct USB port.

Make sure ‘Passthrough’ is clicked. Add new USB filter (select the correct USB port). Enable USB Controller. Select USB 1.1 Controller. (Not USB 2.0 or 3.0). (I may have done the Ports part first before the Storage part. Can’t recall now).

Then restart your Windows in VM. I’m not an expert on this and relied on surfing for bits of information from others along with the VirtualBox manual. This particular forum page was helpful to me.

Thought I’d add my two cents on what worked for me. Posts: 1 Joined: 4. Nov 2015, 03:30.

All Drivers For Windows 98

Windows 98 USB Mass Storage Device Drivers USB flash drives and other USB mass storage based devices are becoming more and more common. Unfortunately, they often do not come with drivers because Windows Me, 2000, XP and Vista all come with generic drivers already installed. This way all you need to do is plug the drive in, Windows will recognise it and you will automatically see the drive in My Computer. Windows 98, especially in it's second edition (also known as Windows 98SE), handles USB fairly well, however there are no generic/universal mass storage device drivers preinstalled in the operating system, so you will need to install some additional drivers for it.

Some manufacturers do however, provide the Windows 98 drivers on CD, others have them available to download, and others simply do not have them available at all. If you are using Windows 98, and you do not know the manufacturer of the storage device, or you can't find the drivers, what can you do?

Fortunately, there are some generic Windows 98 USB mass storage device drivers available that work with most such devices. This means that these drivers will work with many makes and models of the following:.
