SOLUTION HERE IN THIS WEBSITE:KS:http://www.derekhildreth.com/blog/how-to-install-virtualbox-on-ubuntu-804lts-hardy-heron-tutorial/

Setup USB:

USB is disabled by default, so you’ll probably want to enable it. Otherwise you’ll get an error when you go into the “Settings” of your virtual machine. To correct this, you’ll need to edit the mountdevsubfs.sh file:

[In Terminal] sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

Inside, you’ll see a block of code that looks like this:

# # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work # #mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs #domount usbfs “” /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644 #ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices #mount –rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

Change it to look like this (uncomment out the region by deleting the “#’s”):

# # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work # mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs domount usbfs “” /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644 ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices mount –rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

Save the changes, log out, and then log back in again for the changes to take place.

The virtualization mega thread has a how to for enabling USB devices. The thread howefield linked to is an alternate method, although it is a little dated and you will need to read through the thread.

From this thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973756

Add this to /etc/fstab :

[FONT=monospace]u[/FONT]sbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,devmode=666 0 0

Then either remount or reboot.

For using USB, you must to enable it first. Refer to the VirtualBox site about how to do that. In my case, I just copy and paste from the site, after reboot USB was enabled. The same with sharing folders. Pay attention to the Internet connection. Viruses are free to come on win virtual partition.
