[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1348557, member: 46727"] I don't believe you can do it from the VM. From OS X yes in target mode, but the VM supplies its own drivers and is not going to "see" the drive in your iMac. I know you stated that you didn't want an external optical drive, but it may be the only way and it's not like they're expensive. I purchased an inexpensive Samsung which I use to save wear and tear on the internal drive in my iMac. [/QUOTE]
