A note
IN virtualbox usb devices are detected with a gray color

what you exactly mean by "in virtual box" ?
Note that you can safely write using Spanish, several members of this forum can read/write Spanish. (not me, ...)

I don't know what desktop you're using. I'm using LXDE, so the first screenshot will be an LXDE response.

1) Put the USB drive connector into a USB slot. You will probably get a popup requestor window like the one below. Don't mount the drive. In my example, I clicked the Cancel button.



2) Start VirtualBox. Highlight the XP VM, then select Settings. Go to the USB section. Your USB drive should be showing after clicking the Add filter from device button.



3) Put an X in the checkbox to the left of your USB drive. The drive should then show in the USB devices window.



4) Start XP in VirtualBox. After logging in, your drive should be showing in "My Computer". If it doesn't show up immediately, give it a minute.



Here's the disk usage. (Drive is empty of any files, so far.)

Start VirtualBox. Click on Help > About. Does it look like this?

Okay, I think you have the OSE version. Open Synaptic. Do a full update. After completing that, uninstall virtualbox. After you've uninstalled virtualbox, install the getvirtualbox package. If anything in the Synaptic updates said to reboot, go ahead and reboot. Next, look in your menu under More Applications > Emulators. You will see an entry named Get Oracle VM VirtualBox. Click it and follow the prompts. That will download and install the newest VirtualBox from Oracle's site. After installation, DO NOT START VirtualBox from the menu. REBOOT.

After rebooting, you will be able to use VirtualBox, and will have access to your USB devices from VirtualBox.

I don't think you should need to install the extension pack as I believe? Tex modified the getvirtualbox script to install the Extension Pack whilst Virtualbox 4.0.8 was being installed.
