Simple NTFS operations on removable storage

Recently I've got to transfer the 6.8 GB Solaris 11.1 repository ISO file to an Ultrabook.I needed to make it accessible to a guest instance.
Interestingly the simple task turned into a mission :-/

The Ultrabook runs Windows 8 and only has 2 USB 3.0, beyond Bluetooh 3.0 and 802.11n Wi-Fi.
I could install VirtualBox 4.2.12 (the latest up to now), but I chose to install just its "core" (no USB, Python, etc.)
It also happened that I found myself with a poor Wi-Fi performance or no accessories for network cabling.
I've tried an external USB DVD but its seek time for the ISO repository image was so bad that I gave up.

Howdy, Stranger!
