#CREATE MAC VM FROM HARD DRIVE FUSION INSTALL#
Wait a couple of seconds, then click inside the Window, and select the USB option using the arrow keys on your keyboard. The easiest way to build a VM that can be used on an external drive is to create that VM in your shared VM folder. Right-click VM and then Settings to open the VM settings window. In the Choose Operating System window, you need to select the operating system platform and system version you want to install in the virtual machine.
First, right click the USB icon on the bottom right corner of VMware Player, and click Connect (Disconnect from Host). Make sure your USB drive with a bootable OS is attached. Make sure that USB is enabled, and if it isn’t, click “Customize Hardware”, click the USB Controller device, and check the first two options. On the final screen, you’ll see the hardware resources automatically allocated for this particular VM. On the next screen, select “Store Virtual Disk as single file”, and allot 5 GB to it, since we will be booting from the USB drive, and not actually doing an install. Specify the name of the VM and the destination where it will be saved. Select Linux as the Guest Operating System, and from the list of versions, select Ubuntu (or if you have a different OS, select it and its version). If you want to run Windows without partitioning your hard drive, you can use Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion to create a virtual environment, read our round up of the best virtual machine.
