Hello, I have VMWare Server 1.0.6 installed on Ubuntu 8.04 with Windows XP as a Guest OS. I enabled the USB controller on the virtual machine but when I connected my usb on my computer, I went to USb devices but there doesn't appear my USB. My USB is a Sandisk with 4GB. I already installed the VMWare Tools. Is there any way to fix this so I can connect my USB to my virtual machine?

Yes, see the USB section on the Virtualization Mega thread at the top of these forums.
