Have a VM on a USB Stick 2/3?

To save space on my MacBook Air, I want to buy a USB 2/3 stick to store my virtual machines. Can I move my existing VMs on my internal hard drive on this USB key and run them to vmware Fusion installed on my MacBook Air?

Thank you.

Yes, Virtual Machines can be run from USB devices to block but I would opt for an external USB 3.0 HDD or SSD (preferably) on a USB drive.  If you insist on a USB and then make USB 3.0!

  • Problem with ZTE MF190 Dongle (USB Stick Modem)

    I have a ZTE MF190 Dongle (USB Stick Modem), which is a plug-and-play device. It was to find work on my Windows 7 Ultimate with my Acer Aspire 4720Z but recently it does not HSPA or any other signal, unless I have to uninstall and reinstall all the time before using it. When I do this, it installs the following drivers:

    Composite USB device
    ZTE Diagnostics Port (COM6)
    ZTE to Port (COM7)
    ZTE ATExt2 Port (COM5)
    With a Modem ZTE USB owner
    Network adapter Broadband Mobile ZTE
    USB Mass storage Device
    ZTE MMC storage device

    But he informs me that "ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM" cannot be installed.

    This missing driver would be the reason why I am facing this problem. If Yes, where can I get this coz I looked everywhere including the website of the manufacturers without result.

    Hello

    Certainly, this looks like a problem with the drivers. The manufacturer has a way you can get in contact with them at all? It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to write drivers for the devices that are compatible with Windows.
    Another thing to do is to make sure to have all your drivers chipset update of the website of the manufacturer of the computer.
    You say that you have an Acer, so go here: http://support.acer.com/us/en/default.aspx
    You can find model specific computer and download all the drivers updated in need of your system.

    I am running windows vista on the PC of my church and have inserted a USB stick with a MP4 file on it, but I can not read this file. Can I get help?

    I created a video for our Church on a desktop of Windows 7 through Pinnacle Studio 14 (editor) and registered as a .mp4 file. I then put it on a flash drive and put the flash drive in the computer of the Church, that is running Windows Vista, and the file will not play. Please provide help quickly!

  • Toshiba Regza 46VL743G - playing files via USB stick

    Hello

    I have problems with playback music and videos via USB. I tried to format my USB for different file systems (ntfs, fat, ms - dos, for example) and video formats, but the screen is black, I launch the media player.

    My TV has played with MS-DOS Format the photos, but no mp3 or divx/avi files. I run the multimedia player with 'video' the led of the USB stick flashes, but after a few seconds the led turn off (I think that the stick loses power).
    My other TV (LG 55LE7510 55 '') plays all video files and mp3 without any problem (ntfs and video format *.avi)

    Someone has an idea?

    Hey,.

    Have you tried another USB key and the same thing happens with another USB key? Usually, you use the FAT32 format for your USB key. Then the TV will be able to recognize it and all the files it contains.

    According to the specifications of your TV supports jpeg files (USB and SD card), MP3 (USB) and video DivX SD (USB).

    I have 64 bit install discs for Win 7 and Win 8.1. These two install on my desktop in duel boot. I made a Flash DRIVE of each disk so I can install it more quickly.

    Problem: I get the cannot install because it is a GPT partition.

    Thank you, Brad

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.

    The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.

    In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Recovery USB - stick (DVD player does not) Acer Aspire 7750 G

    Hello world

    My DVD player does not work for quit some time. This is no big problem for me, because one barely use it.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to burn recovery DVD. In my view, it has an option to do a recovery USB drive. It would be a great solution! Unfortunately I do not have the possibility to do so. Is this only possible for computers without an optical drive? Is it possible to download the program with the option to use a USB - stick as in the YouTube video?

    Thanks in advance,

    You can try to work around the problem, since I'm not sure that Acer was already an eRecovery on windows version 7 which allows to create USB recovery media.

    This free software allows you to create a virtual DVD/rw drive and use it to create an iso file, then you can ise this iso file to create a USB stick recovery using rufus:

I'm trying to back up my files, but I'm not. Is it possible to copy my files to a USB stick and use it as a backup? If so should what files I back up?

    Go to the file/s you want to put (Documents, music, Photos, etc. in Windows Explorer) > right click on it/them > hover over send it to the mouse cursor > select external hard drive or Memory Stick that you plugged them to save.

    It was a gift and I want to play with it! The brochure says it will work with Windows 7. There is no apparent technical support available. The driver loaded OK. When I tried to run, I got the MSINET. The OCX error. I searched on computer, found MSINET. OCX in C:\Windows\System32 and pasted in C:\Windows\SysWOW64. The next attempt to run, I learned a COMDLG32. The OCX error. I searched that and copied and pasted. The next time I got a script error:

    He asks if I want to continue running scripts on the page but it won't let me not click 'Yes' or 'No' then he does not close unless I eject the usb key.  Customer Internet also later than December include people who executed him and those who is crazy, they can get it to run. I think that it runs with 32 bit Windows 7 but I don't know if it does.
