Windows Setup software was not designed to operate in any Mac, Linux, or virtual machine operating
systems. Often in virtual machine operating systems, such as VM Ware and Parallels for Mac, the operating system can’t recognize devices
connected to the computer’s USB and COM ports. Hence, your computer can’t communicate with the Digital Drive
