I doubt Debian can drop HAL
Debian *has* dropped HAL. It is in Lenny (Debian 5) by default. It
is available for Squeeze (Debian 6), but is not installed by default
and is deprecated, and is firmly on its way out in Wheezy.
http://wiki.debian.org/Suspend
<quote>
Wheezy is still in testing status, so it's configuration may change
rapidly.
A very notable change is that HAL is phased out. If you still have the
hal package installed, you should remove it or it will interference
with pm-utils during suspend.

Indeed, I have hal installed.
After I removed it and rebooted the system, tried again in VirtualBox
the USB support.
VB detect the USB stick connected to machine but still doesn't appeare
in the guest Win XP system's Windows Explorer. :(
I remember that that I removed from /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory a file
that is for USB rule. I mentioned it in this thred probably.
Now in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory I have only two files:
70-persistent-cd.rules
70-persistent-net.rules
Is this right?
Could be, but I think that you should move to udev rules quickly.
Other day I try lubuntu in a vm , Additional-guest, seems that are based
on HAL , but again I think that VB should prepare things to use udev
rules.
HAL has been removed from Fedora 16 , and X11 also drop HAL so seems is
near of EOL.
I have a Wheezy host with a Wheezy guest. USB working, no HAL, no udev
rules that I can see. I couldn't tell you exactly how it's working or
what I did different than you but if you would like to compare your
system to mine to narrow down your search I'd be happy to help.
I appreciate your help, but don't know how to perform it?
Because of your question and another problem I had, I decided I didn't
know enough about how udev worked and dug into it deeper. And now I must
apologize because there is udev rules for USB. It just doesn't work how
I thought it did.
The vboxdrv kernel module has a rule under /etc/udev/rules.d. If you
want I can send you the exact rule as an attachment.
Please do so and send me the exact rule as an attachment.
The rules are required to be all on one line and they are too long to
be on a single line in an email so it was simply confusing to paste
them here. It should not matter because I certainly did not write
these rules. If the rule doesn't exist I would try to run
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
I haven't vboxdrv in the /etc/init.d/ directory but only virtualbox and
virtualbox-guest-utils.
I can't run these with 'setup' option:
~$ sudo /etc/init.d/virtualbox setup
Usage: /etc/init.d/virtualbox
{start|stop|stop_vms|restart|force-reload|status}
~$ sudo /etc/init.d/virtualbox-guest-utils setup
Usage: /etc/init.d/virtualbox-guest-utils
{start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}
as root. If this fails, make sure you have dkms installed and also the
linux-header package installed for your kernel.
I have installed dkms and linux-header packages:
~$ aptitude search dkms
i A dkms
i virtualbox-dkms
i A virtualbox-guest-dkms
~$ aptitude search linux-header
i A linux-headers-3.2.0-2-amd64
i A linux-headers-3.2.0-2-common
linux-headers-amd64
If you still have problems check /var/log/vbox-install.log
I haven't /var/log/vbox-install.log.

Are you using the Debian repos or the VBox repos? I also attached the
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv so you can see it though I doubt it will help you.
You don't have the kernel modules loaded. I am sure you've seen this but
please verify none of this help you
