creating a guest computer from Windows XP to Mac OS 10.9.4 stable address?

I have been using Fusion 5.0 for a few years to create a virtual machine from Windows XP SP3 on my MacBook Pro, and in general things have gone pretty well. Since I only use the virtual machine to run some legacy programs and because these programs do not run on any Windows operating system after XP, I got no incentive to improve anything. Unfortunately, a week before, the virtual machine has crashed in flames and I was unable to save. I was not yet able to reinstall Fusion 5 on existing files, so finally, I deleted all the files merger, following the instructions in the knowledge base. Doing, I discovered a folder titled "Incompatible software", which stated that the Fusion version I was using was incompatible with the version of Mac OS I was running. However, that incompatibliity was found in February 2013, so I think that this was not the immediate cause of the accident.

Anyway, my question is should I use Fusion 5 or 6 to host my virtual machine to Windows XP SP3 on Mac OS 10.9.4? I still need the existing programs so that I can't use any later version of Windows.

TIA

Because you cannot reinstall Fusion 5, you could try Fusion 7 and see if your XP VM can be retrieved using that, given that the virtual machine crashing in flames, were due to difficulties with Fusion 5 trying to run in the Mavericks rather than something wrong with the virtual machine. Just first to the top of the virtual machine.

  • How can I move my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7? Custom or upgrade?

    Hi, I have a Dell XPS M1530 with Windows Vista 32 bit, I bouht a Windows 7 Family pack upgrade, my computer has this partition of the hard drive C: 220 GB and RECOVERY D: 10 GB.

    I want to know that if I do the install as upgrade, it will keep the same partition of hard drive?

    If that's enough, this partition of Windows 7, or should I do a large partition?

    If I copy the D: RECOVERY files, do a factory image restore in the future?

    I have some other doubts that I ask after this ones.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Walter,

    Dell has not yet, I bought the W7 dell family pack,

    Let me tell you what I did, I opened the D: RECOVERY and copy all the content in an external hard drive just in case where I don't know (I don't know how to do the recovery disc).

    I copy all my files on the same portable hard drive, and then I make an original image to restore.

    I update W Vista until Service Pack 2 and now I try to install the Windows 7 upgrade, but I don't know how to do and if I do which is how I had to do.

    I have the reistalation W Vista 32 bit of dell DVD.

    Let me ask you something when you said: ' make an upgrade should keep the same data programs and settings, etc ", do you mean that when I do the upgrade of the partition of the factory will be the same after the upgrade?

    copy the files from an external hard drive recovery and create a disc from there will not allow you to use them to reinstall vista

    Ask how to do recovery dell discs

  • How to downgrade my computer from windows 7 ultimate to home premium

    I currently have a final non-genuine Windows 7 installed, but I have a product key genuine home premium. I tried to enter the product key, but I get an error, what should I do?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello jorenhuysegoms,

    If your PC comes with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed the manufacturer or another is provided with a DVD (which, in your case, they have not) or even your PC has an image of the operating system on a partition of your hard drive.

    If you check your partition structure (Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management) you should see a partition marked "System reserved." This is the partition that contains the Windows image.

    When you first got the PC, if you have followed the manufacturer's instructions, you must have created a recovery disk. This will help you to re - install your copy of Windows 7 Home premium. Search the site for PC manufacturers to 'restore PC back to factory conditions. This will tell you how to begin the restore process and restore your PC to the State wherever it was when you first purchased your PC.

    Your subscription is valid for both Windows and Mac platforms, so you may have to work on both systems.  You can install it on as many machines as you want.  All these machines you can have two signed in use.  These two machines you can use only the subscription on one at a time.

  • create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5

    I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a.  He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940.  2 discs failed who broke the raid set.  I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes.  I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7.  When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.

    I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.

    is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work?  If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration.  I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly.  whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.

    I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.

    The your PC version of CS3 software probably only works on Mac if you have a Windows Simulator installed on Mac as well.  Impossible to run PC on Mac versions, and CS3 is too old for a swap of platform (allowed only for the most recent version - CS6).

  • Chess Titans freezes computer with Windows 7

    Upgrade to new computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and everything seems to work fine except the game Chess Titans in the beam of Microsoft games. When you run this game, the display shows the program splash screen and then displays a black screen in and out; and freezes the computer how far I have to restart. It actaully has worked well when I had Windows Vista, it just started to have problems of the the intall of Windows 7. Also I don't have the most current version of Directx 11.  I would really apreciate if someone can give me input on how to solve this problem.

    Hi Swinget,

    After the upgrade to Windows 7, I recommend you update the drivers for the graphics card, this could be a problem with drivers for the graphics card, follow these steps to update the drivers:

    1. click on Start.
    2. enter Device Manager to launch the search.
    3. expand display adapter in the Device Manager window.
    4. right click on the device.
    5. click on Properties.
    6. click on Driver tab.
    7. click on update drivers.
    8. click on OK.

    Check if the exclamation points are displayed with the device. The exclamation point indicates a problem with the installed driver.

    See the link for update drivers: update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

    Even if the update of drivers does not help, I would say that uninstall you and reinstall the Windows feature set could solve the problem.
    1. click on Start.
    2. type Optionalfeatures.exe search.
    3. click on the symbol + for games for Windows features.
    4. uncheck the Chess Titans.
    5. click on OK.
    6. now restart the computer.
    7. follow step 1 to 3 of the .
    8. put a checkmark for Chess Titans.
    9. click on OK.

    Give it a try with the above steps and check if you are able to play the game without freeze him more.

  • guest computer must have access to the printer host cannot use

    I have a new Mac, an old Mac, an old Windows machine and printer of Xante AW1200.

    Almost all of my work is done on the new Mac.  I get the old machine Mac or Windows of the drawer on rare occasions, or when I need to print something, because the new Mac cannot use the printer.  (Xante never taken the trouble to develop an OS X 10.6.4 driver for this printer.)

    I would like to get rid of the Windows machine.  I have it successfully migrated to a machine of comments on the new Mac, using vmware Fusion 3.1.3 but I have not found a way to get the computer to see the printer.

    This isn't a complete surprise, as Xante does not provide a driver for their (former) printer and (my new host) operating system OS X 10.6.4 - but they were planning a WIndows XP driver that has always worked well on the Windows machine, connected by the RS232 port.

    The printer also works very well on my old Mac, connected via ethernet.

    Can I connect the printer to the new Mac's ethernet port.  Of course, the Mac cannot work with it.  But could the guest computer use Windows sound driver to manage the printer?

    None of the four standard ways of printing seem applicable: ThinPrint because the host cannot use the printer.  USB because the printer is not a USB connector.  network / wireless because I do not have my old Mac running all the time.  Hello because I think that it requires that the host can see the printer.

    It certainly isn't a frequently asked Question.  Sorry, my situation is so unusual.  But the printer is special enough for the work that I do.  Any tips?

    Thank you.

    If you have a router on your site then you should be able to connect the printer to the router, configure it as needed, and then accessing it in the comments as a network printer.  Note: The guest network should be configured as connected by a bridge to access in this way.

    Another option of network which is doable, but a little more difficult to set up, is to fix the printer directly on the Mac with a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable, not a Crossover as suggested in the Ethernet Port of Mac being automatic detection User Guide.  You would then manually configure the IP address, etc. on the printer and network bridged on the comments and even if Bridged his only access to the printer on this network adapter.  Then use a second network in the guest configured as NAT, if you do not also use Bridged on that, to enable the client to have access to other resources on the physical LAN to the host, such as Internet access, etc..
