Re: Load Windows
As far as I know, you can't in a VM, because it's a USB external drive, not an internal one. What you need to do is to create an ISO image from the Windows installation CD/DVD from Disk Utility. Then in your VM Storage settings, instead of using the pass-through option, you point it to the ISO you created.LJB6801 wrote:can load windows from CD drive (usb external drive)
BTW, are you sure that in the storage you can select the USB CD drive with pass-through? If yes, can you please verify with a screenshot of the settings showing that?
