I am running VMWare Player 5,0,2 on a Windows 7 OS with Ubuntu Linux as the guest OS. When I put in a USB pen drive the guest OS does not seem to detect it. I can access it on the host OS and have closed down all the applications relating to the memory stick. Originally I was occasionally seeing the stick in the Player>removable devices menu but trying to connect resulted in the 'in use by another application' error. So after reading a few posts I tried reinstalling VMWare tools. Now, whichever USB slot or memory stick I try it is not present in this menu. Also when I run lsusb nothing additional appears in the list. I am sure I have missed something but can not work out where I am going wrong. Can anyone out there help me out? I have seen a few posts on similar subjects but not quite the same.
