Fusion 5 - USB 3.0 supported - really?

I'm playing with the v5 update, but fail to get my VM Win7 to one or the other of my volumes external exFAT (WD Passport).  Complaining the host controller; No new drivers don't seem to be available.  I checked compatibility USB 3.0 in Fusion Option.  I can connect using a USB 2.0 cable.

Fusion 5 I can SHARE the disk USB 3.0 as a volume mounted on mac and map it as a network drive in the virtual machine.

'X' = \\vmwarehost\shared folders\exFAT

I can open files (i.e., XLS) to exFAT, but can save them.  I checked the permissions and confim read/write.  Note that I CAN write TXT files without complaining - ODD!

What I am doing wrong?  Is it a problem of WD or VMWare/Config problem.    Frustrated, majorly

Thank you!

Unfortunately... Windows 7 guests are not compatible with USB 3.0.

  • Fusion 6, USB 3.0 and WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB... IN CASE OF FAILURE!

    Has anyone found a verified correction to get a Western Digital my passport Ultra 1 TB USB 3.0 working with VMware Fusion 6?  I know it is problem or failure with VMware Fusion because it works very well in VMware Workstation 10.  A largely acquired VMware workshop, it's very disappointing.

    History

    Built the new virtual machine for Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 7 x 64 and conducted all Microsoft Updates using VMware Fusion 6.0.3 and OS X 10.9.2 with Late 2012 13 "MacBook Pro retina.

    Problem

    Connected to Western Digital my passport drive Ultra 1 to USB 3.0 to newly built VM.  The following error:

    The "(Western Digital My Passport 0741) device" could not connect to its ideal host controller. "

    Screen Shot 2014-05-08 at 4.11.58 PM.png

    Solution (that is, not really a Solution)

    Use VMware Workstation 10 on workstation hp Elite 8300 running Windows 7 Professional x 64.  No problem encountered.

    If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this very annoying VMware Fusion and USB 3.0 I would be very happy.

    It is probably because the linux distribution supports USB 3.

  • VMWare Fusion 7 / 3 displays not supported?

    Hello!

    I recently added a third monitor to my setup, but it seems that 3 screens could not be supported when using the unit. Here is my configuration:

    -Retina Macbook Pro 13 "

    -2 external displays

    -Instance Windows Pro 8.1 with VMWare Tools installed

    I get a message saying Configuring display not taken in charge trying to allow the unit with the 3rd screen active. When I unplug the, it seems to work. I tried to increase the VRAM without success.

    Anyone who performs this type of installation with success? I can find no documentation saying it is or is not actually supported.

    Thank you!

    I use three monitors with Window 7 and my rMBP Fusion 7.  Two are HDMI, Display Port.

    Did some research here and found a post examining in detail the problem with Fusion 6.

    We will work on the resolution of this problem in the merger, in the meantime, here is a workaround solution. Stop the virtual machine and cesser stop merger, and then add the following lines to the .vmx file:

    SVGA. AutoDetect = "FALSE".

    svga.numDisplays = '3 '.

    svga.vramSize = "134217728.

    svga.maxWidth = "8192"

    svga.maxHeight = "4096".

    This disable automatic detection of the display limit and allow the virtual machine to use up to 3 screens. You can change to 4 If you think that you could connect a 4th screen (using the Thunderbolt and HDMI ports). The absolute maximum number of supported views is currently 8.

    I followed the steps above and it works very well in Fusion 7 too.

  • A powered USB hub will support Ethernet / USB?

    Wifi in my office is uneven, so I need to wire a Macbook Pro (if that's the term). Because the Macbook Pro is not an ethernet port, I get an ethernet cable / USB. I also get a USB hub with an AC adapter.

    I know that you should not the ethernet cable / USB in a hub that is normal because it won't have enough power. But a powered hub will provide enough power for thin ethernet connection?

  • Laptop HP 15-R084NG: is it possible to copy a HP recovery on another USB flash drive support?

    Hello.

    Just a few questions please:

    1. when I do only once "HP Recovery Media" to a USB key, I can then 'copy' and 'paste' on another USB flash drive as long as the 2nd flash player has sufficient capacity?

    The recovery still works well?

    I ask this question in case I have to change to another USB flash drive and I am aware I can only have a copy of the HP recovery.

    2. If this is the case, I then can also make a backup on a Western Digital external drive so that in case of malfunction of the USB flash drive, can I still transfer files to another USB flash drive?

    Thanks in advance for the answer.

    Best regards.
