10.10.2 OS problems install a DMG in VMWare Fusion

Hello

-J' use an iMac, 10.10.2 system

-J' bought VMWare Fusion 7.1.1

My goal is to be able to jump from my iMac (running OS 10.10.2 with VMWare Fusion installed) to a virtual machine Mac OS 10.7.5 (a carbon copy of my MacBookAir).

So, I made a carbon copy of the operating system as a whole on my MacBookAir as a DISK IMAGE (dmg).

Here are the steps I follow on VMWare, but it does not work. I would really appreciate the help. I have more resources.

1. open VMWare Fusion.

2 file / new (installation method)

3. I Select the first option being "Install from a CD or disk image" (see fig. 1)

4. I click on ""use another disk or a disk image " "

5. I Select my dmg file.

6 VMWare asked me to choose my of operation of the System (I do not know if I have to choose the operating system on my iMac running VMWare or the operating system on my disk Image... However I tried both)

7. the result is the gray apple screen and then it blocks (see fig. 2).

Can anyone help? I'm completely lost...

Thank you very much.

To answer why the steps you suggested do not work:

When you create a new virtual machine, Fusion expects that you will provide an operating system installation media (a picture CD/DVD or other medium containing the installation of the operating system application), not an image of the hard drive containing the operating system already installed.  Bascially, you have deceived merger taking the image from your hard drive and attaching it to a virtual CD/DVD drive.  The core of the operating system will take care of such a 'disc', but the installed operating system is expected to be on a writeable medium, while the virtual CD/DVD drive is not reading / writing (at least not in the sense that the core of the OS X wait... Burners of CD/DVDs do not count), and the OS crashes instead of start normally.

As far as I know, you have at least four options for moving forward:

1. use your MBA to download the app to install OS X 10.7.  You can do this by going to The App Store on your MBA and option-click the purchases button and there you are looking for setup of OS X Lion.  Copy the resultant Installer OS X Lion.app to your iMac, and create the new virtual machine in Fusion, using this application as the installation media.  Then do 1 a or 1 b:

1. during installation, you will be offered the opportunity to migrate files and settings from another computer... This facility allows to transfer your stuff in front of the MBA to the iMac.  This is by far the safest (and probably easiest) option.

-or-

1B. stop the virtual machine with the freshly installed OS.  In the virtual machine settings, add a new virtual hard disk.  Also join the .dmg "insert" backup in the virtual CD/DVD drive.  Turn on the virtual machine and install CCC and use it to restore the .dmg backup of the entire system on the new hard drive (empty).  Power off the virtual computer.  Remove the first hard drive and turn off the CD/DVD drive to "eject" the .dmg backup.  Cross your fingers and the power on the virtual machine.

-or-

2. P2V, as suggested by ChipMcK.  (I've never used these special tools).  Opinions differ as to if P2V in Mac OS X is a good idea from the point of view of stability and reliability.  I have not encountered any problems, but I very rarely P2V.

-or-

3 it should be possible (but not easy) to convert the .dmg you have a hard drive (hard) that you can attach to a virtual machine.  The procedure is not simple, and I don't think it's documented anywhere...  I'll try to put something together, if none of the previous solutions worked for you.

See you soon,.

  • Problem installing Win Vista of SuperDrive

    After the installation of Fusion 2.0.6 I then install Win Vista by inserting the CD in one of the two SuperDrive on my PowerMac.  It does not recognize one of the two disks.  In the technical session of this Forum, I found how to fix this problem by changing the VMware configuration file.  Still not solve my problem by changing to IDE0 or SCSI0 for four parameters.

    Can someone help to solve more high question on how I can get the merger to recognize one of the burners so that I can install Win Vista?  Thank you.

    More information:

    Mac OS X 10.6.1

    Fusion 2.0.6 (I don't think that this problem is au.6 as I had the same problem as avec.5)

    Mac Pro 8-core 2.26 Hz with 16 MB memory

    Thank you.

    Cannot install VMware Fusion on a PowerMac because it is not based on Intel, which is a requirement.

    You shouldn't have to change the CD/DVD from IDE to SCSI under VMware Fusion to install Windows Vista and if for some reason you cannot get the disc to use the physical disk and then make an ISO Image and use it to install as it is actually faster and that is including the time to make the image.

    =================

    Note: When you use utility disk in order to have a bootable ISO Image, you must select Master CD/DVD without encryption in which case by default, it will have an extension .cdr file and in version 1.1 of the merger and later does not need to be changed in .iso, although one can if one chooses to. A default .dmg image is compressed and is not bootable, as an uncompressed .dmg will start if changed in .iso and of course the source CD/DVD should be bootable in the first place.

    To create an ISO Image using disk utility...

    1 insert the CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer.

    2. open disk utility (/ Applications/Utilities/Disk utility).

    3. Select the CD or DVD drive in the list of disks and volumes.

    4. Choose file > new > "Disk Image from (name of the disc)."

    5. type a name for the disk image.

    6. choose "DVD/CD master" from the Image Format pop-up menu.

    7 choose "none" from the encryption pop-up menu.

    8. click on save.

    After you have made the ISO Image and then eject the disc source from the optical drive.

    Then, set the ISO Image as the CD/DVD in the leaf of the parameters of the Virtual Machine.

    Take a look at: VMware Fusion menu bar > help > VMware Fusion help > managing Virtual Machines > configure the CD/DVD drive

  • Satellite P300-133 - problem installing Win Xp

    Hello

    I have a problem installing win xp to Satellite p300-133.
    To resolve this problem, I have tried the solutions:
    switch to ahci mode in bios and incorporating storage drivers compatibility intel to the installation cd xp with nlite, but none of them solved the problem.

    Laptop computer starts from the cd of xp and xp installation says "program Setup inspects your hardware configuration" and then a blank black screen comes.
    After that, the installation does nothing and waits indefinitely.

    Any ideas on this problem? Thank you.

    Hello

    > switch to compatibility ahci mode in the bios and the integration of the storage drivers Intel to xp with nlite installation cd, but none of them solved the problem.

    The two methods are good!
    You can install the Win XP without drivers Intel Storage Manager (SATA drivers) but in this case the SATA mode must be on compatible mode.
    It works for sure!

    The second method is the installation of the SATA drivers with nLite (drivers can be integrated into the new drive Win XP).

    I put t understand why this doesn t work on your laptop. I think it's a problem with your Win XP drive. Contains this Win XP SP2 or SP3?
    If this isn't the case, then you should use nLite to include min the Win XP SP2.

    Check it!

  • Problem installing PCI-6220

    Hello

    I have problems installing a PCI-6220. The card has been installed a couple of years on a PC and rarely used. I withdrew from the it and connected to a new PC (Intel core i3 2.93 GHz, Windows7). After installing the card on the new PC in a first time, I could read the name of PCI6220 under 'Devices and interfaces' (in the program MAX) but I´d not been able to define it as a device. So I tried to remove the card and plug it in again and now the situation is even worse, I only see an "unidentified PXI system" in the program of MAX.

    Any idea what bad and what can do to make sure that the card does not work properly? As a reference, I need to connect to a CA-1000 enclosure housing a CB-68LPR device.

    Thanks in advance,

  • IPod Classic 7 G 160 GB ' there was a problem installing this hardware: Apple iPod USB Device ".

    I have recently (June 2014) bought a brand new Ipod Classic 7 G 160 GB Model A1238.

    Whenever I connect via USB to a PC running XP SP3 and Itunes V10.0.7.2 it is always treated as if it were a new connection, i.e. "new hardware found". After trying to install it, it says so "cannot install this hardware" and "there was a problem installing this hardware: Apple iPod USB Device."
    I have also a 2009 16 GB Ipod Nano 4 G model 1285 and this is recognized by the PC whenever it is connected through the USB port itself.
    I connected the Ipod Classic 7 G to a laptop running Vista and Itunes V10.0.7.2 where the Ipod is recognized and installed.

    Even if the PC States that there is a problem installing the Ipod, it still appears in Itunes and I can download music to it and disconnect by using safe mode disconnect.

    PC XP SP3 - Ipod Classic
    I watched "Device Manager" under "Drives", the Ipod Classic is listed as an "Apple Ipod USB Device", but has an exclanation score against it.

    Right-click on the 'Apple Ipod USB Device' properties and the "Volumes" tab it shows the drive with the exact name and the size of the data, by clicking on the properties of "Driver" tab it says 'Unknown' driver provider, driver Date and Driver Version as being "not available". By clicking on the "Driver Details" properties, it shows a driver file-

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\PartMgr.sys, File Version 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp080413-2108).

    Under "Device Manager" USB controllers, there is an entry for "Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver" and a "USb Mass Storage Device"

    The 'Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver' lists two drivers:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\usbaapl.sys and
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\usbaaplrc.sys

    The "USB Mass Storage Device" list a driver:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\USBSTOR. SYS

    PC XP SP3 - Ipod Nano

    I repeated the steps above with the Ipod Nano, connected to the PC and the driver provider is presented as Microsoft with the driver as 07/01/01 Date and Version of the driver as 5.1.2535.0.
    In the "Driver Details" properties, it shows TWO driver files:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\disk.sys AND meanings
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\PartMgr.sys.
    At the same time with the Version of the file 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp080413-2108).

    The 'Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver' and "USB Mass Storage Device" are the same as for the Ipod Classic.

    I followed the procedure to remove Itunes and even the update to Itunes to V11.2.2 nothing works.

    I am aware that the system is also that XP can now be updated.

    So, why not not Windows Installer Ipod Classic and why the disk.sys driver does not appear

    According to the details of the pilot?

    Is the 7 G Ipod Classic not compatible with XP SP3?

    Yes it is compatible with XP SP3.

    Try asking in the forums of Apple iPod:

    Hi all

    I had problems installing a basic manufactured ZTE map of MTS internet data on my 32 bit Edition operating system, Windows Vista family. It's a HP Pavilion Desktop PC.
    When I install the data card a pop-up box comes up saying SETUP.exe. Then I run the installation file and it begins to install. Only towards the end it shows installation modem, then a pop with a Cape "Driver Installation" box comes up saying - "FAIL TO INSTALL MODEM. () - 536870389). »
    I spoke with the Multilateral Trading System (sellers of internet data cards), and they said to try the card of internet data on another system. I did and it works on my laptop and my office who has Windows XP. Then, it was clear that there is no problem on the side of MTS. The problem was with my HP Pavilion Desktop that is running on a 32-bit operating system, Windows Vista Home Basic.
    I then called HP customer support and they said to remove any program extra antivirus that I may have. I did but still no help. Again I called HP customer support and they said to take back all my files and perform a system recovery. I do that and then downloaded relevant drivers of drivers.blogspot.com and installed on my computer. After doing all this again I got the same error.
    Customer support HP said that there is no problem with the equipment and that I would need to Microsoft when there may be a problem with the WIndows Vista software. I called Microsoft customer service and they said to type the details of this error on answers.microsoft.com so here I am.
