In the macOS VM settings window, click System and then Motherboard. Once the macOS High Sierra VM has been created, click the Right Button on it and select Settings from the window opened. Click the Create button to create a VM hard disk. You can configure the virtual hard disk size to 30 GB.

Select your Portable Hard Disk and create a new folder for the VM and click the Open button on the folder.Ĭlick the Save button to save the virtual hard disk of the Mac OS High Sierra. To change the HDD location of the VM, click on the symbol you see in the image below. Storing the hard disk of the macOS VM in a different location is useful for performance. Select the desired option and click on the Next button. For performance, you can configure a hard disk backup type of a VM as Fixed Size.

So when you install a program on the VM your disk will expand automatically.įixed Size: The VM will configure the hard disk size before installing, but this will take some time. I hope we can find a solution to this, because it will enable us to run portable applications and programs anywhere on our portable media devices at near native speeds.Dynamically allocated: Quickly create a virtual hard disk and use as much space as needed on your hard disk. I tried to make a blank virtual machine and boot Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD: I know there's QEMU, which is great, but VirtualBox has more options, works better, and it's faster than vmware workstation 6. Get rid of the admin privilages using the AutoIt scripts Thinstall even gets rid of the admin privileges. Everything else works, including the settings.
#PORTABLE VIRTUALBOX FOR MAC DRIVER#
Is there a solution to this? I've tried to Thinstall it but it gives me a VBox Kernel Driver error when I run the Virtual Machine. The only other issue I have is the admin privileges that VirtualBox requires to start. The only issue I found was that the launcher wanted some dll files in the root folder to start, which were already in another folder, but it started anyway, and only gave a few error messages after becoming convinced :D.

Thanks zikarus for the link, it is a nice package that works without too many flaws. So.possible? Or some major downsides, catches, etc?

There's more to it, but have you ever been considered? I know it's been 'kinda' suggested, but I've seen John do so much with drive letters, i don't think it would be too hard, I don't know how NSIS handles xml files though. VirtualBox folder somewhere else, then it may be possible for John to write a launcher that xml files to direct to the drive letter VirtualBox is being run from, so it would correcly find all of your virtual hard disks, vdi, etc. I don't think making it portable would be too hard, well probally still pretty hard, you would just have to adjust the VirtualBox settings to have the. What about the open-source version of VirtualBox, i haven't tried it, mind you, but it's all the same, just doesn't support the additions. Now, seeing as John is so amazing at writing launchers, and he says he can't release the portable QEMU package or whatever he says he's created. So if it was made portable, you could run your favourite operating system anywhere. This is a request for VirtualBox, a virtualizer for x86 hardware.
