The biggest thing to note here is to make sure you run "virtual machine usb" in administrator mode. Even though it said it in the video I forgot and it didn't work.

Thanks a lot for great tutorial. Finally succeeded booting with USB and installing Windows 7 inside VirtualBox. Previously tried Plob manager, VirtualBox creation of RAW drive etc but installation fail with driver not found error. Thanks again. Subscribed :-)
I can't get this to work with Virtual Box 6.1. I keep getting an error saying it can't automatically connect with the virtual machine. It lists a possible solution of installing a controller in the virtual machine. I have tried it with a SATA controller and an IDE controller but I get the same error. The frustrating this is I was once able to boot on a USB drive without the special USB boot add on, but now it either ignores the USB drive or drops me into a command line instead of booting on the USB Stick. Do you have a better way to accomplish this task of booting on a USB Stick for this version of Virtual Box?
"Could not automatically add the driver(s) to the VirtualBox VM. unable to find a storage controller in the VirtualBox VM, please add one and try again" error is constantly popping out. I have SATA storage controller in settings. Idk what to do.
Thanks a lot. By the way i tried my usb E2B to run from Vbox. Although your program gives error but when i open usb from Vbox it runs. So error does not mean it does not work.

Could you make video how to install dos 7.1 (due to use more than 2G of space) directly on sd card on pc and than we could plug that sd card directly to machine and it should work.

Hey Brian great job as always mate! Any chance you can create a Windows 7 Ultimate and Win 10 UEFI setup on 2 separate ssd drive configuration? Cheers!
I had a triple boot setup with Win 7, Win10 and Robolinux on a non UEFI setup before. Upgraded to UEFI MB and need some guidance. Seems to be an issue with Win 7 non UEFI driver support. Reminds me of the ole win 95 driver support nightmare days.
doesnt work for virtualbox 7.0 it creates vmdk disk linked to usb drive but it cant start vm. One may want to consider these: cmd as admin, wmic diskdrive list, "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" createmedium disk --filename "V:\VMS\VM_USB_boot\phd3_usb" --format=VMDK --variant rawdisk --property RawDrive=\\.\PHYSICALDRIVEX where X is drive nuimber. Then add created disk to vm and boot.

good video , but When I want to open the default Windows I see this, VT-x / AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Some guests (such as OS / 2 and QNX) need this feature and will fail to boot without it. so .. what can i do ?
If supported by your CPU, you can enable this in the BIOS settings. Also note that Windows Virtual PC cannot be installed at the same time because it monopolises VTx - you must uninstall it.

VirtualBox and VMUB need to be run as Admin. Run VMUB (which will run as Admin) and then use the Manager icon in VMUB to run VirtualBox Manager (as admin). Also you need to use VBox 5 (NOT VBox 6 as it is not compatible).
Vbox 7 can. Set up usb drive in the usb section of the VM on usb 2 or usb 3 interface. Then start VM and press ESC to get vbox bios menu, then choose the usb drive as the boot device.

Hello! “FATAL:Could not read from the boot medium! System halted “error message is displayed. What is the reason?
VMUB currently is not compatible with VBox v6 - use v5 only.

You need Virtual box v5. It does not work with v6
So what does the second app (VMUB) do that enables this capability? Can this be done without this app?
