I have a host system Windows 10 Pro (system information) and I got an external HD (devices and printers) with a virtual machine image of a Linux based server side OS.
I need to open/boot a virtual machine from the images placed on the external HD on my host device with Windows 10. For this purpose I downloaded and installed VirtualBox, but I don't know how to open/boot a virtual machine from an image placed on this external HD via this software. I have trouble with this, because one the one hand I am not able to import a virtual appliance, because no external HD is listed (import virtual appliance dialog) and on the other hand I am also not able to view this HD with the Explorer in order to look what is inside like a regular usb flash drive (devices and drivers).
So my question is how to mount this external HD and to open/boot a virtual machine from it via VirtualBox?
I addition I can mention that there is no restriction to use VirtualBox. That was my first choice to get started.
Edit: I got this HD with the information that there are two images of an OS of a Linux based server where I can deploy my software for testing purposes. But there are some trouble to mount this external HD (A SS. of disk management)
