I'm running Debian on a VirtualBox machine (Windows 7 is the host o.s.). I attached a USB drive and selected into the guest system.

I can see it's recognized in dmesg output:

[ 785.492007] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci [ 785.828824] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05e3, idProduct=0723, bcdDevice=94.54 [ 785.828828] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=4, SerialNumber=0 [ 785.828829] usb 1-1: Product: USB Storage [ 785.828831] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Generic [ 785.832894] usb-storage 1-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [ 785.833069] scsi host3: usb-storage 1-1:1.0 [ 786.846942] scsi 3:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic STORAGE DEVICE 9454 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 786.848136] sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [ 786.866936] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk 

but it's not listed in fdisk -l output, nor in lsusb or lspci. But /dev/sdb exists.

What am I missing?

My bet on what is happening is that the drive is mounting into the host OS, in your case Windows 7. These links may help.
