Hey there everyone. For the past month or so I've been working to get a Windows 7 machine online to do some work on USB drives. I've been unable across multiple distros and installations to get all of the USB drivers detected and installed. Right now I have an activated windows 7 professional 32bit install that is fully updated and the only thing I can't get working is the USB passthrough.
A fresh out of the box install ends up having two unknown devices. This is of course after installing the virtio drivers. I've also attempted to scan the older versions to see if something would work, but no luck.
Last night I dug up this post, which finally solved one of the unknown devices: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/unknown-device-in-win7-vm.49698/
In proxmox I have it set to passthrough the entire USB device and it seems to work -- a device shows up in the device manager like this:
Same issue: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/win7-installation-missing-usb-drivers.132451
I've also attempted to pass through the entire usb controller and the same device shows up. If I unplug the USB device from the computer that of course goes away.
I've tried the mobo drivers as well as all of the virtio drivers. Any ideas? This is just an off the shelf USB drive.
