You need to install the VirtualBox application on your hard drive.

Right you can't boot off the USB with VirtualBox. There is a preconfigured
virtualbox file you can use that contains SoaS.

   - Download http://www.sugarlabs.org/static/soas/soas-beta-1.zip (dated:
   20 April 2009)

Once you download that you create a new virtual machine and attach the
unzipped file to it following the instructions under Setup a Virtual Machine
for Sugar on a Stick.

includes everything you need, but we are not quite there yet.
