If you click the USB icon on bottom right a list of peripherals shows. If the external disks name is greyed out you cannot mount it. I have other suggestions on how you can install a pc app in virtual box.

Hello Martin,
Can I ask what the external drive is formatted as? Thanks
IanMartin R.15 Apr 2017Hi
not sure about formatting, it is showing on the mac but not on the virtual boxIan J.15 Apr 2017Hi Martin, if it's a Mac formatted drive then windows won't natively read the drive. Windows only reads natively Fat and NTFS formatted drives. In Mac OSX, in Finder, click on the drive and press Command and I, or Get Info, this will depict the info on the drive. It will tell you nature of the drive. Hope this helps.
