With virtualbox under settings there is an option to enable the usb controller, I presume others would be similar.

What version of Virtual PC are you running?

Hey 2007 version

Not sure if this is right or not, but according to http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/wi...running-virtual-pc-2007-on-windows-vista.aspx one of the comments says that USB access is not supported?!

VirtualBox can read VirtualPC virtual hard drives, so no need. Just point VBox at the VPC hard drive, and away you go!

You could probably just share the USB drive as a network share if not (assumsing VirtualPC lets you access them).
