First of all, when posting in a forum for help, "help" is not a wise choice of a title for a thread. Everybody is here for help. Can you imaging if everyone's title was "help"?

Go to your VM Settings » USB, and see if you have a filter enabled. If yes, delete it.

If you are right, next time I will put a more direct thread, I did what you said and when I was loading the kali I jump this ----> FATAL NO BOOTABLE MEDUIM FOUND SYSTEM HALTED

Open up a Command Prompt and post the output of the command:
  • VBoxManage showvminfo "<Your_VM_name>"
