External Hard Drive Issues on Virtual PC for Mac

Microsoft Virtual PC works as an emulation program for a Mac OS X system running on PowerPC processor. While serving as a virtualization program for Windows, it virtualizes a PC and its hardware associated with it. At times due to drive format incompatibility issues, when you connect a USB or FireWire hard drive to a Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac, you might fail to install and access it.

Thus, to troubleshoot such situations, you will need to reformat the hard drive to make it compatible with the system. Doing so causes complete data loss and require you to restore the lost data from backup. But if backup fails to restore, you need to use Hard Drive Recovery solutions to completely recover and restore data. For an instance, you try to access an external USB or FireWire hard drive through a Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac v6.1, but fail in your attempts. Also, when you try to install the same hard drive to the guest operating system, the Virtual PC or machine might hang. The similar behavior might also be observed when you perform similar steps in Connectix Virtual PC for Mac v6.0.

  • Virtual PC for Mac were originally developed by Connectix and later acquired by Microsoft.
  • Cause

    Following are few reasons from which the above stated problem root:

    • A FireWire port is not emulated by Virtual PC virtual machine
    • The USB external hard drive or its drivers are incompatible with Virtual PC
    • Hard drive is formatted with a Windows file system.

    Solution

    You need to use these methods to reproduce the above behavior:

    • You can share this external hard drive to use in Windows
    • Reformat the entire hard drive with HFS or HFS+ format and restore lost data from backup.

    You need to use Hard Drive Recovery Software if data backup seems to be useless or absent. Built with superior scanning technology, these commercial Hard Drive Recovery utilities provide complete data recovery while without altering the original information. These are graphically rich applications that scan the affected hard drive using high end scanning algorithms.

    Stellar Information Systems Limited provides effective data recovery utilities for Macintosh, Windows, Linux, UNIX and Novell operating systems. These are safe, reliable and fast recovery products that are designed with powerful recovery techniques. Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery is an advanced and exceptionally realistic Hard Drive Recovery Software that supports HFS, HFS+, HFSX, HFS Wrapper and FAT file systems.

    VMware Workstation - Mac OS X?

    I have VMware Workstation installed and I am able to run Ubuntu Linux.
    I also have Microsoft Virtual PC installed and I am able to run Microsoft Windows XP.

    I am trying to use Mac OS X on VMware, when I click 'Power on this virtual machine' I get this message, 'Mac OS X is not supported with software virtualization. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports hardware virtualization.'

    This message is being displayed, but it doesn't make sense, because I can use Ubuntu Linux in VMware and Microsoft Windows XP in Microsoft Virtual PC.

    Can anyone please explain to me what is wrong and what I can do so that I can run Mac OS X.

    Thanks! :)

    Hardware virtualization requieres supporting 64-bit arhitecture by motherboard and CPU, and CPU that supports virtualization - Intel Virtualization Technology or HyperV in AMD. Also host OS must support that features. Look at your CPU and motherboard manual if they support that requierments, and make sure your host OS is 64 bit. Also there will be difficulties with MacOS hardware limitations, so easiest way is to download MacOS image file, there is lot of places where you can download it.

    Media Reaction – Google Announces "Chrome" Operating System based on Linux

    by Jeffrey Scott -TypeHost Web Development
    http://webdevnews.net/

    This was the day many people had been waiting and hoping years for… Google takes up the Open Source / Linux code base and enters into full competition with Microsoft in the operating system market. Now it is official, as Google announced on their blog yesterday. The "Chrome OS" will be, like Android, based on the Linux kernel and essentially a Google-sponsored re-write of the user interface over that to build a next-generation, cloud OS geared to run web apps. The most important point here is "browser" based vs. "desktop" based, because with that comes all of the potentialities of cloud applications, remote hosted drives, distributed computing, SaaS, etc. Since the Chrome OS is being specifically targeted at netbooks, many are also pointing to Adobe Air applications vs. traditional desktop apps as future standards. The last point though highlights the main asterisk to the announcement: the Chrome OS will be optimized for netbooks first, rather than desktop PCs, which most users and virtually all professionals & business users rely on.

    Consider then a very methodical development cycle where Google moves from search, search advertising, apps & code / cloud offerings to launching 1) a mobile phone OS based on open source Linux code base, "Android" 2) a netbook OS based on Linux & browser, "Chrome OS", to…. 3) full desktop OS (based on Linux) that is integrated with Google products and a direct competitor to Apple / OSX & Microsoft / Windows, (unfinished, but reportedly also pending as a next phase extension of the Chrome OS). The long range significance is that the leading IT company in the world is launching, progressively the open source movement into mainstream computing, and at every level providing free, open source software alternatives for both business and personal users to the proprietary offerings by Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, & other old school software companies. Again, this is great news for independent developers of web based applications, as it levels the playing field and allows for direct entry into the marketplace on the open source foundation following Google.

    It can be argued that this is no big deal, Linux has been around for years, and still has only 1% desktop market share. But Google has 80% market share in search. If, by the law of averages, they can pull a 40% market share away from Microsoft & Apple in the next 10 years they can totally transform the popular foundation of computing a second time. Given the momentum behind Open Source at this time, changing consumer habits, and worldwide consumer trust in Google, I think there is a strong possibility in this.
