![]() ![]() I would greatly appreciate it if someone knows how to do this or could think it through. The issue is how to give the VM control over the internal physical hard drive rather than to let OS X have control over it. ![]() I can run VMWare off of an OS X virtual disk with no problem. I've seen some posts that are oriented towards people who are using bootcamp to run VMWare from a physical partition, but that is not my situation. I need to give Spinrite access to the physical drive, not to a shared folder or a single partition, but to the physical drive. Its easy to attach external USB drives or internal IDE drives (CD ROM) to the VM, but the Fusion interface does not provide an option for attaching an internal hard drive to the VM. In order to perform drive repair and maintenance on an internal OS X hard drive, I would like to be able to:ġ) Boot off an external (USB) drive into OS X (which I can do, using a clone of a working OS X installation and pressing the Option key when booting, then selecting the USB disk as the boot disk).Ģ) Run VMWare Fusion 2.x (which works fine).ģ) Load a DOS VM and run Spinrite off of the CDROM drive (which works fine and can access any drive attached to the VM), andĤ) Give Spinrite (which is running in the VM off the USB drive) access to the internal physical hard drive on the Mac (this is where I need some instructions).
