Problem with USB devices in virtualbox in ubuntu 10.10

[allsystems]

I have installed ubuntu 10.10 onto a usb flash drive. I then installed virtualbox and proceeded to install a windows xp inside the virtualbox. However now whenever I power on the virtual xp and plug in another usb drive with data on it dosent recognize it,it also dosent recognize my usb wireless adapter,any solutions to this?

Which version of Virtualbox is there? If open-source, it doesn't support USB devices. You need to install the closed-source proprietary edition.
