We really got close the solution with the command below, only problem: the mouse would be invisible in the VirtualBox, and won't work on Ubuntu, but as soon the virtualBox is shut down, the mouse appears to be working, also if I plug my external Hdd before I run the VirtualBox, windows xp would take forever to with the Blue Welcome screen, so I had to send the Power Off command to the virtualBox. Hope there would be a fix for this.
Thanks for the efforts tho.

@Gene: do
$ sudo mount usbfs -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb/ -o devmode=0666
before starting VirtualBox (if security is an issue, use a different mode and set a group using -o devgid). This will hopefully be fixed in the next version of VirtualBox.
