Ok, after installing Oracle's extensions, I was able to attach the USB 
drive to Windows.  But the problem I had was that I could not access 
content from within Windows.  The solution is to NOT unmount the drive 
in linux first.  When I attach the drive to Windows, it looks like 
Virtual Box unmounts it for me and attaches it to Windows and I can then 
access content yay!  One problem remains:  The drive I was able to use 
was an old USB 2 2G drive.  My Kingston 32G USB 3 drive does not want to 
play nicely with Windows.  The OS complains it is an unkown device.  Yet 
linux accesses it without any problem.
