Allocate Disk Space To VM From Second HDD On Host?

0

I'm very new to the concept of VMs. I just recently got myself a High Sierra VM running on Windows 7 via VirtualBox. (yeah, yeah sue me).

I have my main disk on the VM obviously housing the High Sierra OS. But I want to add a secondary drive to the VM because my host has a secondary storage drive. The only problem is that any time i try to create a new virtual disk, it allocates from my MAIN drive on the host.

Is there a way to create a virtual disk and allocate space to it from my second drive?

Thanks in advance for any of your time :)

3When you create a new virtual disk, the first thing it asks is the file location. Are you saying that is getting overridden somehow? – Charles Burge – 2018-04-05T03:04:42.837

Apple OSes aren't to be used in anything else than Apple hardware. 'Hackintosh' is off topic here and your question is likely to be closed because of that. – None – 2018-04-05T10:05:17.747

@MichaelBay the question pertains to VirtualBox and the creation of a second drive; that he happens to be using it to virtualise OSX is neither here nor there- the question would be the same if it was another OS and so it is on-topic per meta discussions: "A category of questions where it doesn't matter AT ALL that you're running a Hackintosh instead of a "real" Mac. These questions are often answerable"

The question is clearly about creating a new Virtual Disk, not about mounting it in the VM. @MichaelBay I suggest reading up on the Meta re this topic. – music2myear – 2018-04-05T18:21:24.130
