There are two editions of virtualbox.
If you are using the OSE, you need to download an ISO image of VirtualBox Guest Additions iso file (see reference above) for your version of virtualbox.
Download the iso to /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/ and remove the version number from the filename so that you end up with /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
Next, go to the "Devices" menu in the virtual machine's menu bar and select "Install guest additions"
When the installation is finished, reboot and you will have USB and CDROM available.
To select the CDROM, go to the "Devices" menu in the virtual machine's menu bar and select "CD/DVD Devices" then select "Host Drive"
