I've now installed VMWare Player 15 with Win XP Professional 32-bit on Win 10. There's no way that VMWare will recognise theSEAGATE external HDDs usb 3.0, although it lists them and doesn't refuse to enable them from the Host. They just don't appear in Windows or VM setup.
A long time ago, with VMWare Player 6, I received some advice from VM that fiddling with the BIOS could make the Player use the new 3.0 usb disks. I did not even try it. There are other Helps that suggest adding
1. Add usb.analyzer.enable = "TRUE" in your VM’s vmx file
2. Connect your Seagate 3TB disk into your VM again
3. Check your host’s device manager->"Universal Serial Bus controllers"->"VMware USB Device" [Is there - usually hidden]
4. Attach your vmware.log and usbarb log: "C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM\vmware-usbarb-SYSTEM-wxyz.log" (wxyz being the process id).
Couldn't even understand most of this. The point is, I save the XP Backup on my oldVerbatim external disk, but this isn't going to last forever. So, apart from getting a huge usb flash drive for Backups, I don't know how to proceed: (SEAGATE haven't an answer, either). Please can someone advise?
