Can I use a USB drive to external200GB as the HD for virtual Windows using Bootcamp

Having only very limited need for any Windows function, I now do not need to use a CAD program only Windows. I tried VMware Fusion. It works, BUT everything is very slow, just browsing, so I'm sure resource intensive CAD software will be unacceptable. Where the interest in Bootcamp. Preferring to leave my primary HD intact, I would use a Reader USB 200 GB extra as the "windows partition" as this should allow everything to work more effectively.

Windows on the external storage is legal and authorized under the of Enterprise Windows Windows-to-go. Consider a small C: Windows on the internal drive (40 GB) and use the external drive as D:.

  • Historical files can not find my USB drive.

    I think I should have created this problem myself by removing something that I wouldn't on 19/04/15. That said I think I should be able to have the file history find my USB hard drive. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the drive several times, tried different ports several times, I have set all permissions for all users and restarted after each step. I made sure the computer see the drive in devices under USB devices and readers. I formatted the drive and can drag and drop to and from the drive. I plugged in a flash drive and run the history file to it and worked until he ran out of memory. When I try to run the history file it looks like for the flash player and I said need to plug in, I choose select drive and it rises, "no usable disc found", I don't understand how historical files can not find my USB drive when all other aspects of Windows 8.1 can. I spent enough hours for the moment that in failure.

  • 52 for USB Composite device driver code (can't check signature of driver) after installation of the updates of August 2014 on Windows 7 x 64

    After you install the updates of August 2014, my keyboard/USB wireless mouse has stopped working, and the receiver is marked as "Device USB Composite" with code 52 - cannot verify the signature of the driver.

    Really, the usbccgp.sys to Windows 7 file is not signed (unlike Windows 8.1), but I've never had a problem with this until recent updates.

    Unfortunately, these values are not in the key "reg" you have asked. (Note: I no longer feel the question).

    I managed to solve the issue of the restoration of a restore point, and at that time system that has pulled the update KB2982791 - I wonder if the problem has been caused by that.

    With all the other August 2014 updates installed, the issue did not reappear.

    Hi Rohit,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum. I understand that your USB drive is having problems of compatibility with your computer, but I would like to learn more about the issue in order to provide you with better assistance.

    4. Your USB key works on other computers or have you tried to connect to different USB ports on this computer?
    5. Is the pen drive getting detected in the case or you are able to access the drive folder in the window of the computer ?

    The question may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged, or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows. This can also occur if your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.

    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.

    Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

  • 2.04 Ubuntu comments on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7 can't see ext4 USB drive

    Comments from 2.04 Ubuntu on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7: on computer A trivially, I connected to an out-of-the-box 64 GB USB drive formatted for VFAT on Ubuntu in a VM. I re-init'ed the player for ext4 (mkfs.ext4), mounted, drop a bunch of stuff on him (which took awhile), he dismounted and walked away. The next day, identically configured computer B, I inserted the USB key. Natch, Win7 may not go up because it does not ext4. But Ubuntu don't see either, so I can't be installed. Do not see under removable devices, no small icon bottom left of the screen of VMware, nothing in the settings menus or properties, etc. I think it's just me being a noob to VMware, but it seems that Ubuntu under VMware Workstation 9 cannot see the drive unless Win7 can go up. Seems unlikely. KB searching, Googling, etc. produce many unrelated things. Ideas? AdvTHANKSance.

    Here is the final answer: works great on an earlier version of VMware Workstation 9 on one of the Windows 7 of my client machines, it didn't work on my Windows 7 computer. I upgraded to VMware Workstation 10 on my Windows 7 computer, and now it works perfectly. If I call you this a bug in this version later 9 which was set at 10. Could also be had I simply uninstalled 9 and reinstalled which would have fixed it too. But I'll never know.

  • Airport Express - USB drive not visible in the finder

    I have a brand new Airport Express that I currently use as an Extender for our old time Capsule. I would like to share a USB between computers. The Aiport utility see the drive.

    However, the Finder does not show the drive.

    In the future this extreme with a USB (mini 4 TB drobo) will be in our caravan to help us to do video editing and blogging with 2 computers on the road.

    Finder are not displayed at the start of the drive, but it should display the AirPort Extreme under the Shared heading in the left side of the Finder window.

    In the example below, my AirPort Extreme (called AEBS) has a drive named 500 GB drive connected to the USB port at the back of the unit.

    By clicking on the AEBS, another window displays the name of the player on the right side of the window.

    Double-click to mount the drive on the desktop.

    Now you can drag and drop files on the disc icon, or open the drive and drag the files into the opened window, which represents the drive.
