I tried the root thing to no avail but if I had read the usb section in help a little better, I would have tried the filters. In the usb settings I clicked on add filter and noticed the ipod and my mouse. I clicked on the ipod and saw all its info present. After enabling the filter I started XP and there was the ipod. Ok now all I have to do is get the ipod software to work in XP, it reminds me of the days of using suse 7.4. Thanks to everyone for their help. Maybe the filter thing should be added to http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox_USB_Support .
