I've got an Intel iMac running OS X Lion, and the main hard drive is full. 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. Is this possible?

 

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).

 

Thanks for any help.

Hi zm99,

Could you see your USB 3.0 hard drive on your Mac OS? I could install VM to my USB 3.0 hard drive. Please the screenshot.Image may be NSFW.
