I have a feeling it's a Windows XP problem and not a VBox problem, so probably no need to go through re-installing VBox. You can find out for sure by testing out using USB's in another VM using a different OS. If you still have the Linux Lite ISO file that you used to install system with, you could install that to a VM and test to see if you can access the USB. Or you could download any other Linux distro's ISO and use it for testing.
Another option, if you don't want to bother creating another virtual hard drive, is to set up a VM that is specifically for booting live ISO's without installing them. You setup the VM, but don't make a hard drive for it. The procedure for that is described here if you're interested: Creating a Dedicated VM for Live ISO/CD/DVD Booting.
P.s. Sorry, I don't know solution if it is Windows specific.
