If you mean he was asking about USB rather than IDE or SATA, then yes, though I wouldn't characterize it as a "USB disk" vs. "raw disk access".

As I think I said or implied, but no matter. Anyway, there's an additional point which Michael Miles brought up but the OP seems not to have noticed, i.e. you can only access USB devices with the non-free version of VBox. That's the main limitation of the open source version from the Fedora repos and the reason I can't use it. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
