win2000 guest and USB

[pdc124]

Ive got kubuntu Jaunty host OS + win2000 guest.

When the Guest OS starts it finds new USB hardware and then prompts for the driver . Searching in windows update doesnt find the driver.

USB flash disks are detected and displayed by the host OS but not the guest, The USB icon at the bottom of the VN screens says 'no devices' and my computer just shows C:\ and D:\.
the Devies->USB menu at the top of the VB window lists a flash drive, but grayed out.

How do I get a driver to the guest OS so it will recognise the USB ?
FWIW from the Host
with a sitck plugged in :

zippy@zippy-desktop:~$ lsusb

Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0ea0:6828 Ours Technology, Inc. OTI-6828 Flash Disk

USB requires that you have the PUEL version of VirtualBox and not the OSE since it is not supported. You also must have the guest additions installed. Have you met these requirements?

yes PUEL version and guest additions. if it was the OSE version would it just ignore USB completely?
