Can't see external HD connection in V Box (Trying to install VS 2013 on Windows 8.1)


Hello
I created a windows 8.1 virtual machine in fedora. the problem I'm having is when I plug in the external HD it isn't recognized by the windows OS. I tried searching for it in the device manager but No Dice!
is there a particular package or software not installed here or is there a tut out there that demonstrates how to solve this problem. I tried goggling for the solution but I found Natha!
does anybody know the solution?

Thanks
AO!
