Re: windows7 64 bits virtual machine transplant to MacBook P
This has absolutely nothing to do with VirtualBox. But, you could search the webs for "Mac read-write NTFS" and you'll end up with a couple of solutions like FUSE for OSX, Paragon, etc. All of the solutions are not native to the Mac, they're 3rd party "add-ons". For a native solution I would suggest next time to go with something like an exFAT filesystem.traja47 wrote:a) what are the changes required on MacBook Pro host to read/write NTFS guest from/to portable hard disk?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

the best solution we have implemented is to format the portable disk drive using exFAT
now it works perfect
