So far, from the screenshots, the EFI BIOS is not enabled to allow booting from the USB stick, and the ISO is not showing loaded either. And it definitely would show the presence of the ISO in the VM's Optical Drive if the ISO was loaded. I have not tried booting from USB in a VM, but I assume the Storage list has to see some mention of the USB device. Use a physical disk (for advanced users). Step 2: Add a hard disk to virtual machine via VM > Settings. Then the System group in your screenshot will include 'EFI: Enabled' in the list.Īlso, the 'Storage' group in the screenshot does not show the USB or ISO being loaded. Step 1: Open target virtual machine you need to boot from USB on VMware. Click the Options tab, and then select Boot Options and choose the option to force. From the vsphere client, right-click the VM name, and click the Edit Settings option. Right-click your VM, and then select Open Console. To boot from USB in Virtualbox you need to try enabling the EFI BIOS checkbox in the VM's System settings, Motherboard tab. Use md5sum to make sure the ISO is uncorrupted, and then ensure that the ISO is bootable. And 'virtualization' in the PC's BIOS, though needed for Virtualbox 6.1, is not the EFI vs Legacy BIOS switch needed for booting from USB. That's good, but the physical PC's BIOS is not the VM's BIOS. Tommy2k10 wrote:I have also enabled Virtualization in the UEFI BIOS.
