VMWARE Server Software
I do realize that this software is older but it's already installed and all I have to use currently.
i built a MS Server 08 VM and I plugged in my external hard drive into the physical machine and the VM doesn't see it. I need to restore another system backup and its on this external hard drive. I tried to use Power ISO to create an ISO image and mount it but it's too large. 90GB.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Larry H.

VMware won't see the external USB device. You will need to get the files on the local drive somehow first.
Would that be external "USB" harddisk? Sir!

Yes it is a USB external HD also the VM does not have enough space allocated to accommodate the backup file.

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
