Thank you for your step by step instruction below is the result: This is what I got in Terminal while I was on Virtual Chrome OS page.
"viv...@vivake-desktop:~$ sudo su [sudo] password for vivake: r...@vivake-desktop:/home/vivake# mount /cdrom mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/scd0 already mounted or /media/cdrom0 busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/scd0 is already mounted on /media/cdrom0 r...@vivake-desktop:/home/vivake# cd /cdrom r...@vivake-desktop:/cdrom# sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run Verifying archive integrity...

My mouse is still unmanagable and I cant have a full screen as I do in Virtual Windows XP. I wonder if Chrome OS is the problem because there is no "re-start" button on Chrome OS page like Windows XP. I have to shut it down and start all over again so application is not being installed, I presume.
