Vmware workstation 12 boot from usb free. VMware: How to Boot a VM from USB Stick



   

You do not have to edit vmx files or use workarounds like mounting USB drives as physical disk or booting with Plop Boot Manager. What am I missing? I had to plug the stick in USB 2 input. The Stick is USB 3 - should be backward compatible. It comes back to same boot manager screen. When I hit enter key continuously, I see "unsuccessful" flashing in the background. Any suggestions are appreciated. I was finally able to get EFI usb device to show up but now it wont continue.

Please just tell vmware workstation 12 boot from usb free what u used to test. Because I think you are читать USB 2. This has not worked for me either. I have the same experience as Muksha. In a USB2 port the option is there but vmware workstation 12 boot from usb free never successfully boots off the usb.

No error. Just keeps coming back to the same boot screen. Anyone get past this? Having same problem. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all, same as above with VMware Player 12 also. I tried with a new empty bit VM and a bit one as well, no changes. USB v2 of course. I believe the problem is the USB handling itself.

Thanks in advance for helping. Vmware workstation 12 boot from usb free strange. I've tried to reproduce the issue, but I couldn't. Any ideas? This is worked for me. I have searched many forum to for uefi usb booting but failed to get one. Thank you very much for such a good post. I'd like to confirm that this procedure works with Workstation Does this require the paid version of Workstation? I'm using a free vmware workstation 12 boot from usb free and I don't see an "Advanced" section under Options.

Thanks for the info. Note that the 'right' USB icon the one that the author did indicate with the red square has to be clicked. For me it took 3 boots to realize that I was trying to boot from the Validity Sensor This method is working on VMWare Workstation Not having any luck with this on Powering on from Firmware doesn't restore the USB connection.

If I try and click the USB drive quickly to connect it while the EFI is booting, it just tells me the Connection was unsuccessful because the host was using it. After a minute or so, I can right click and connect, but the EFI is already booted, and there is no option to rescan the system to see the now present USB as a boot option.

I have installed and I can run VMware But network bridging does not work. When I connect VM interface to the bridged vmnet0 always get an error. Can get the USB device to show up in the bios, but once you hit enter on it, it just blinks back to the same screen. The USB stick is formatted bootable and works with oracle. Not sure why vmware has problems.

It's work in VMWare Workstation
