Virtual systems (i.e. Guests) don't see the physical hardware used by
the host OS.  Rather they see virtual hardware provided by the
virtualization software. 

To enhance your virtual guest experience, start the Guest OS and from
the VirtualBox menu, select Devices -> Install Guest Additions.  This
will mount a CD/DVD image on the Guest and if auto-run is enabled you
will see an application run that lets you install the virtual video
driver and other enhancements.
