Disk utility crashes(?) OS X

Post by subtektor »

Hi.
I'm currently using niresh' iso to run osx in a virtualbox, as it's the only way I know. Anyway, I'm trying to get yosemite on an usb drive.
But whenever I open the disk utility and format a partition on the USB drive, the whole OS simply just stops. Actually looking at the HDD icon in Virtualbox it seems as if the disk just shuts off so I'm stuck here with this frozen image of disk utility [gyazo,com/6085bebd51e7d64aabe0154cc6903cdc].
Restarting the machine works & all, but using the disk utility will only result in the same thing happening again.

Any ideas as what's causing this?

Ok I think I know what's going on here, the VM goes to sleep or something if I tab out of the Virtual machine.
