VirtualBox
Two things:
1. Virtual box isn't seeing my external hard drive, any clue how I can get it to?
2. Where is Virtualbox file stored? I'll be formatting my computer later and would prefer just copying stuff back over vs. reinstalling the OS in Virtualbox

1. Virtualbox OSE can't use USB plugged into the host. In such a case you will need the binary from the Vbox webiste and you will need to enable usb in the preferences.

Though alternatively you can set up your /media directory as a Vbox host file share (shows up as a network drive in the client). Works good for me. Check the docs.
