Of course, we’ve to make an installer drive for installing Mac OS X. vmdk for the external disk and added it to the OS X Virtual Machine would would in turn install it to the USB external disk as a Raw Disk Device.Ĭorrect, I can see the USB 3.0 hard drive. Installing or booting every operating system needs to create bootable USB whether OS X or any other. The exception to that would be if one used vmware-rawdiskCreator to create a meta-data. My read on his OP is that he's trying to install OS X directly to the USB external drive just as could be done from the Host although he's trying to do it in a Virtual Machine and that is not directly doable as it is from the Host.
While I already mentioned in my first reply " You can however create the Virtual Machine Package on the USB Device and install Mac OS X or OS X to the virtual hard disk of the Virtual Machine thus not taking up any space on the internal storage device." nonetheless I do not believe that is what zm99 is trying to do. diskutil list You should now see another disk show up, in my case disk3. diskutil list Step 2 Insert the USB Flash then run the diskutil list command again. I could install VM to my USB 3.0 hard drive. Step 1 Open Terminal and list the mounted disks using the diskutil list command. Obviously zm99 can see the USB 3.0 external drive from the Host OS X as he stated " I've properly formatted the USB 3.0 external hard drive as a startup drive using Disk Utility"! However, when I try to install the virtual machine, the external drive does not show up in the list as a target (only the main hard drive is listed).Ĭould you see your USB 3.0 hard drive on your Mac OS? I've properly formatted the USB 3.0 external hard drive as a startup drive using Disk Utility.

#CREATE BOOTABLE USB FROM MAC OS X VM FOR MAC OS X#
I'm using VMWare Fusion 5, and I want to install a virtual machine for Mac OS X 10.5 server onto a Western Digital USB 3.0 external hard drive. To create a bootable macOS Big Sur installer drive with Terminal, follow these steps: Download the installer Go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal Plug in a USB drive Enter the command sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave. As u/jcmarais1998 said, delete and redownload the OS X from the app store, reformat the USB youre trying to use, make sure its the correct format, and pretty much start over. I've got an Intel iMac running OS X Lion, and the main hard drive is full.
