We already have a bootable USB drive to install an operating system on Vmware but the question is where? Yes, just like a PC or laptop we need some hard drive or storage space where we will install and store the files of OS. Thus, for that, we have to create a Virtual Hard disk. Here we are specifying 40 GB but you can increase the number as per your requirements. Once done move forward and finish the process. Once the VM is created, select that from the left side panel of VMware and then click on the Edit Virtual Machine settings option that is available on the right-side panel, depending upon you are on Player or Workstation pro.

In the Summary column, you will see that you already have one hard disk that is the one you have created. So, now we will add one more, for that click on the Add button given at the bottom. By Default the hard disk type will be SCSI, so leave that as it is unless you have some specific requirements. I am sure you definitely want to find out which Physical drive in Vmware is exactly your system attached USB drive to.

And also you can see the Disk number and the same number is used for the Physical drive in Vmware. For example , here our Removable Disk drive number is 4 , thus, the physical drive will also be 4. Once you have attached the USB drive in the form of a Physical drive for a Virtual machine, change the priority of their booting using the next step.

By Default, the first drive that the virtual machine will select to boot is the one we have created not our USB drive attached as a Physical drive to Vmware. Therefore, to change that, first select the Virtual Hard disk you have created and click the Advanced button. Hit the OK button. In the next, step we will assign the USB drive to the first node so that it will be the first in the boot priority list.

Finally, turn ON your created virtual machine and it will automatically get started with VMware bootable USB drive for installing or using the Linux distros in the Live environment. If you want, you can also use the Persistent environment in which all the changes will be saved on the USB disk itself. For that again go to the Advanced option and from where you have changed the boot priority of the drive, just below that you will the option for the same as well.

While installing the OS, the additional virtual drive will show in the Installation wizard, just select that and you are good to go. Once the installation is completed you can remove the USB drive or just change boot priority from the Virtual machine settings as we have done above. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
