Win 7 VM on Mac IN external harddrive

Post by cesarbogc »

I would like to install the Win 7 VM in an external hard drive, as mine is not large enough.

I installed the VM in the local hard drive, I do not want to have a portable VM, but only plugging the HD and using it as Win7 whenever I need it. I do not have enough local hard drive to install software in my local hard drive.

I copied the VM and HDD file to the hard drive and tried to install it from there. However, once it boots it freezes and won't let me start.

Any suggestions?
