Go to VM --> Removable Devices --> Highlight your USB Drive --> click connect; or

At the bottom on the rind hand side of the VM Console you should see icons, the USB drive should be there but greyed out. Left click --> Connect

Also check the VM Machine Settings to find out whether USB controller is present and enabled.

Hope this helps.

cheers

And depending on the filesystem on the stick and wether automounting is supported in the guest, you may need to mount manually with;

"mount /dev/sdX /mnt/mountpoint"

check what sdX is with "fdisk -l".
