The program only can handle whole/entire virtual disks. What you are trying to mount is a virtual disk for a snapshot. And the snapshot is locked.

Starting with the vm shutdown, . . . 1) Settings: add 2nd Hard Drive of smaller size 2) Boot up the vm 3) Partition the "new" drive 4) Copy/Paste the XP partition and mark as bootable; note that your partitioning program needs to be able to cope via copying from the partition that is the current boot drive and that EASEUS and others handle this quite well. 5) Shutdown, not suspend 6) Settings: Delete all hard drives, but do keep the files. 7) Settings: add again that 2nd hard drive of the smaller size, noting that it is now the Primary Master Settings: add again the former boot drive, noting that it is now the Primary Slave 9) Boot again with the smaller hard drive This is not much different than the "real hardware" steps.

An USB external drive may be CONNECTed ("attached") to a virtual machine after the host (OSX) has EJECTed ("released control of") same USB drive. That means all partitions will be completely controlled ("read/write") by the virtual machine Guest OS.
"ia64" does not refer to the Intel chip that Apple uses on/in the Mac products. I would guess that you want the "amd64" versions Good Luck

I am trying understand. To paraphrase: 1. VMware Fusion --> Virtual Machine --> Settings --> Hard Disks states that for the single disk assigned the Disk Size is 75GB, Unchecked is 'Pre-allocate disk space' and Unchecked is 'Split into 2 GB files'. 2. Windows Disk Management says that you have a single drive with a single partition sized at 75GB and furthermore, only 35GB of that partition is being used. 3. OS X Finder says that the size of the VM's bundle is more than 75GB. 4. Under Windows, VMware Tools --> Shrink is invoked. 5. And afterwards, OS X Finder says that the size is still more than 75GB. Is the above correct ?
