This may be to do with the host hardware and the implementation of USB 2.0 compatibility on the USB 3.0 interface, since my hardware is HP I would expect maximum compatibility. My USB 3.0 external hard drive is seen by my OS X VM if plugged in to a USB 2.0 port, but not if it is plugged in to a USB 3.0 port, but my USB 2.0 devices are seen whether they are plugged in to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port. I am glad you have made some progress, we were beginning to scratch our heads a little. Although all the rest are USB2 compatible, I guess the fact that they are USB3 ports prevents connections, even with USB2 devices plugged in.Īlso, when plugging in a USB3 external drive into one of the ports, there no connection, so I guess ML doesn't support USB3 in VMWare.? On my Gigabyte Z77X-D3H motherboard, only two of the ten USB ports are USB 2/1.1.

USB 2.0 sticks or hard drives, seem to be less fussy and connect whether they are plugged into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port without issue. OK, so pretty much as you would expect, except my USB drive is NTFS and USB 3.0, but it only works if I attach it to a USB 2.0 port on my laptop, it comes up with a warning saying my USB 3.0 Drive was unable to connect to its ideal host controller if I use the USB 3.0 port, and never connects. If the USB hard drive shows as connected to the host I click on the icon in the bottom right of the VMware Workstation screen and select Connect (Disconnect from host). If you want to use a USB 3.0 device in a guest which does not support the VMware Virtual xHCI Controller, you can try to plug the USB 3.0 device into a USB 2.0 EHCI/UHCI port on the host, which will force the device to function in USB 2.0 mode. Not sure exactly why you have a problem, so let me walk through what I have found works or does not, firstly I am running the latest version of Workstation 9.0.2, and if I plug a USB hard drive in it connects and after a short while I either see the drive icon appear on the desktop, or I get asked if I would like to use the drive as a Backup Disk for Time Machine. One or more of the USB controller drivers, hardware dependent.

I've tried ejecting the hard drive from Windows and have had it plugged in when booting ML, but still no USB connection or entry under the VM > Removable devices menu in VMWare.

I've got Mountain Lion installed in VMWare 9 using the Unlocker program, on a Core i5 PC with 8GB RAM and so far everything seems fine, except for the USB connection.Īlthough the VM settings have USB2 automatically connecting and there is a virtual USB device showing in System Information for the hub, keyboard and mouse, when I connect a USB hard drive, nothing happens.
