Hi jarrah-95...

Try to share your usb to your virtual machine and copy your files on it.

Check this:

and look for reply #6 to create your shared usb.

Make it sure the media is inserted on your host machine.

Virtualbox OSE does not have USB-support, but the PUEL-version http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_PUEL does! It's free of charge for personal use!

The more common failure of USB in the PUEL version is that your user name is not part of the virtualbox group.

Open System->Administration->Users, and select your user name. Click "Manage Groups", and scroll down to vboxusers. Click "properties", the make sure your user ID is checked off. Re-start VBOX and USB should work.
