    I noticed a comment in another thread that there is an issue with usb on Fedora Core 5 as a host os for Windows XP SP2. Is there any fix to getting USB recognized in the Windows guest system? I haven't found one anywhere but if I've overlooked it just let me know.

    I simply get the message "Unable to connect USB device to virtual machine". Any insight?

    Here's a suggestion...How about looking in the Help Menu of Parallels Workstation? ;)

    There's a section called "Problem with Connecting USB Devices in Linux Primary OS"

    It'll tell you how to resolve the issue.

    So yes...You have overlooked something. :D

    That's not it. I have no problem accessing the USB device on my FC5 host system under my user account. Also, the same system running VMware has no problems accessing the USB device.
