There is no USB support in VirtualBox OSE. However you can access the
pen drive
using "raw disk access".

http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk

sudo umount /dev/sdb1 (unmount the pen drive to prevent data
corruption)

sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /tmp/
file1.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdb

Then you can add file1.vmdk in VirtualBox using 'Virtual Media
Manager'

I don't drink wine so I don't know how to install AutoCad :D
