Description
I have a Western Digital MyBook 2TB Drive that I have permanently attached to a USB port on my machine.
When I install VirtualBox 5.x, everytime I login to Windows 10 (Administrator account as well as user account with Admin Privileges) and double-click on the drive's folders (i.e. attempting to "drill down" into sub-folders on the drive), I get the message "Device is not ready".
I have to physically unplug the drive from the USB port and plug it back in again in order to get it to work.
When I restored my Windows 10 system from a system image prior to installing VirtualBox 5.x, the problem went away.
