When and why did Walter Raleigh discover Virginia?
The Roanoke Voyages (three in all, not counting John White's return trip in 1580) made the first English trips to what is now North Carolina, but in the 16th century the entire country was named Virginia in honor of Queen Elizabeth I. While Ralegh certainly put the first two voyages together and retained a portion of the third voyage in 1587, he did not travel to Roanoke Island or any part of North America himself.

The third of three voyages known as the Roanoke Voyages. The colonists left England in 1587 and arrived on Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina, in July of that year.

He returned in 1590 and found no trace of his colony.

He never came to Roanoke Island.
John White or Sir Walter Raleigh?
I'm not sure what you are asking, but John White was the governor of the 1587 colony that traveled to Roanoke Island to establish a permanent settlement there. The colony was supposed to go to the Chesapeake Bay but were landed on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. Sir Walter Ralegh had a minor interest in that colony although he had a much more prominent interest in the two previous voyages which took place in 1584 and 1585. Although Ralegh had financial interests in the voyages and organized them, he did not accompany any of the voyages.
Who sponsored the Roanoke Colony?
There were 12 investors, including John White who was the Governor of the colony. Some of the investors traveled to Roanoke Island, some did not. Sir Walter Ralegh had no financial interest in the 1587 colony. He had financial interests in the 1584 and 1585/6 voyages to Roanoke Island, but by 1587 he was concentrating on his Irish estates, and had no real input into the 1587 voyage.
What were the unsuccessful English settlements in North America?
Three attempts at colonization (the Roanoke Voyages) were unsuccessful. The most well known is the 1587 attempt, now known as the lost colony.
