Problem with thumb drive after exiting virtual machine
The operating system on my desktop is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Today I installed VMware and then installed Windows XP in the virtual machine. I'm having a problem concerning my USB thumb drive. I am able to use the thumb drive in the guest machine and I think that I am disconnecting it when I shut down the guest machine. But I must be doing something wrong. Twice when I was in my host machine and put in the thumb drive, a message popped up telling me that Windows couldn't not recognize the drive. It did give me an option to scan it which I did. After the scan it was recognize with no problem. So I suppose I am doing something wrong when I shut down the virtual machine. But I don't know what that might be.
