Hallo,
need HELP.
i had 3 virtual machines (1xW2k3 DC and 2xW2k3 as an virtual Cluster) with Virtual Server 1.05 on my Laptop (XP SP2) created.
USB functions great.
Then our IT installs Vista SP1 on my Laptop. OK....no problem i thought...what a great optimism. 
On the new installed Laptop i install the new Vmware Server 1.07 and import the old with Virtual Server 1.05 created virtual machines.
But after connecting an USB-Drive i wasn´t able to connect the device in the virtual machine...it was greyed out.
After severel trys to reanimate it i decide to install VMware Server 2.0. But the same Problem. In the Remote Console i can see what type of USB-Drive is connected like "Sandisk USB-Massstorage", but the connect Button is greyed out.
The problem i see is, that on the hostsystem the "VMmware USB-Device"-Driver is not installed and the guest-Systems think that he is installed.
All attempts were in vain to install this driver manually on the Laptop (host-system).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks Juergen
