What I did in the past when I had this issue was not to add a USB drive.
I suppose, because I have only installed a minimal set of drivers in Clean Boot?Īm I wrong or is there any way around this please? I think this is because if I look at the panel above the Windows installation, there is only one USB icon (called Apple iBridge, but I think this is the USB connector I have just plugged in) and it is grayed out. I can plug in a USB drive for this purpose and somehow Windows recognises it and installs drivers and says that it is ready to use! It helpfully recognises that the user can designate an external drive for that purpose and lets me do so! But then I am stuck. That install then gets past the initial need for 9GB if I manually delete the previous W10 install files in the ESD directory etc and subsequently proceeds all the way to the install, when it suddenly needs to install all its files and apps temporarily into a spare 10GB of space. I have however managed to get it to install past the first few stages by re-booting the VM into a clean boot. However, it comes with its own set of problems.įirstly, W10 wont install with all the drivers and things I am using.
Thanks for that Wil, I think you are right but i have managed to sidestep that for the moment by starting afresh.
