Floppy image has a size not supported

Hello.

A salesman suggested using VMWare Workstation 9 to virtualize a more old DOS 6.22 based PC.

I downloaded and installed the latest version of Workstation 9.0.2 (Build 103 1769). Installation went well, I then created a basis for DOS VM and installed BACK 6.22 fine. My host is Windows 7 Professional - SP1. Install BACK performed 6.22 from a physical disk attached to the host.

I wanted to convert some of my existing disks of virtual disks for ease of use. VMWare uses FLP formats and IMG. "" I tried many suggested tools that create virtual disks in the correct file types, but when I try to mount them with VMWare I get the same error message ' Floppy "* % path to the file. "FLP *" has a size that is not supported. Cannot connect the device virtual disk 0. " An image of the error is attached.

I tried the following applications and VMWare still rejects the files though FLP or IMG.

WinImage, EMT4WIN, DiscClone, Floopy.

Other threads suggested to create an ISO of a disk and simply by changing the file extension to FLP. It does not work too.  I tried for a while to address it, but so far without success.

I'm doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the virtual disk component of version 9.0.2?  An older version or an intermediate version - would be better to use? Can I still purchase a license or download an eval to Workstation 6 or 7?

I always come back to the same question: "why VMWare allow only two specific formats, but does not provide a tool or method to create or use said format.»

Am I missing something?

On Windows, I used WinImage since it was released and have had no problems to make images of disks over the years.  (I even use it directly on Mac OS X using Wine & X 11 as shown in the image below.)  For use with virtual machines, you will need to save it as a file "Image (*.ima)" not the default ' compressed Image file (.imz) "and must be a 1.44 MB file then add an extension .flp or .img existing file name.

Note: I know that it can be saved as a "virtual floppy Image (* .vfd, *.flp)" however I still recorded under "Image file (*.ima)" and added the extension .flp or .img after creation, (usually .img for easy mounting under OS X), however never had any question of doing it this way!

    Hello

    I can't give you a precise answer why your new created Ghost image does not work, but I found this Toshiba useful knowledge base article

    Norton Ghost 8.0 BACK tool is not put on the road correctly if you try to make an image of your drive or partition.
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400Z20008R01.htm

    Maybe your allowed some ghost image parameters that are not supported by satellite Pro A100 or missing some drivers SATA or IDE!

    It seems in any case, there is nothing wrong with the Toshiba laptop. All functions using the Toshiba Recovery CD. Created your new image is not 100% good!

    =====================================
    Just one question... when done scanning and recording of the scans...
    you select the options to reduce the file size by compressing
    the photos?

    If you have only a few of these scans... you could open their
    one at a time in Windows Paint and go to... File / save as...
    Enter a new name, choose a backup folder and choose .jpg.
    This will create a new version of the same photo and I suspect
    It will be compatible with Windows Photo Gallery.

    Also... it may be interesting to try to install Windows Live Photo Gallery.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download Windows live Photo Gallery
    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Photo-Gallery
    (There are other applications included in the download...
    Uncheck the ones you don't want)

    No guarantee... but there is a possibility that reinstall

  • VmWare Workstation 7.1 - Unable to P2V and seems does not support disk Acronis image images

    Hello.

    I'm trying to convert my computer into virtual machine using the Conversion Wizard in the VMware Workstation 7.1.

    My hardware is: Intel Core i7-920/6 GB of RAM/2x0.5Tb HDD/ATI HD4800. OS = Windows 7 x 64 Ultimate.

    I need to convert only 1 partition on disk 1 which has the OS and all S/W installed. The partition size is 150 GB allocated space = 72G, before the conversion has been defragmented and check-disked (chkdsk/f).

    The location of the target is a 'new virtual machine', located on a huge USB - HDD (K:\VM\vmWsXxx-WI7\), of course - I have access to all drives and places, and of course - there is enough free space on the target disk.

    The problems:

    (1) when I am trying to convert all the timeI'm getting the"failed to take.
    Instant error message of the volume of the source. In a log file I also see this message - "
    Vsnap didn't"

    admin rights.

    Purpose (!) I am connected with a user who belongs to a local "Administrators" group. And 'VMware Agent Service' service is running on the same user account. So, I guess - it must be enough to make Vsnap has all the permissions it needs! :-\

    (2) I also tried another way of P2V - I created a disk image of my partition with an Acronis True Image Home 2010 and tried to put this file to disk image as the source for the conversion of VmWare Wizard. But he reportedthe error - 'file may be corrupt or format not supported ". Makes me think that there might some bugs - in Acronis image that makes the supporting incompatible disk images or VmWar!

    My question is - HOW to with SUCCESS CONVERT MY COMPUTER to VM using a VmWare Workstation 7.1 or any other tool?

    Sub question is - why declare VmWare disk support Acronis image images but does not in a real?

    Or (if it supports their) there may be an incorrect error message - "file may be corrupt or format not supported". Maybe he should point out something else.

    What I tried:

    ensured all need services began a) this:

    net start

    UFAD-ws60

    net start "tcp/ip netbios support.

    net start swprv

    net start vss

    (b) I run shell commands - "writers vssadmin list,"vssadmin list shadows"- the two commands work fin, so assume VSS working properly."

    (c) have tried to run this long shell script

    CD %systemroot%\system32

    net stop vss

    net stop swprv

    regsvr32 ole32.dll

    regsvr32 vss_ps.dll

    vssvc /Register

    regsvr32 /i swprv.dll

    regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll

    regsvr32 es.dll

    regsvr32 stdprov.dll

    regsvr32 vssui.dll

    regsvr32 msxml.dll

    regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    regsvr32 msxml4.dll

    BTW, I got a lot of error messages about this script:

    • The module "swprv.dll" was loaded but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with the error code 0 x 80070715.

  • The module "eventcls.dll" was loaded but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with the error code 0 x 80070715.

  • The "es.dll" module has been loaded but the DIIRegisterServer entry point was not found.

  • Make sure 'es.dll' is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again.

  • The "vssui.dll" failed to load module.

  • The "msxml.dll" failed to load module.

  • The "msxml4.dll" failed to load module.

  • MSXML.dll, msxml4.dll and vssui.dll it is not a surprise because these dll does not exist on Win7 x 64 in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory.

    I found msxml4.dll in SysWow64 - registered. But msxml.dll and vssui.dll are really do not exist on Win7 x 64. Then, for sure - this script itself is the problem!

    What other options I do P2V conversion?

    Are there configuration problems more can I fix it to make the work of P2V conversion?

    Kind regards

    Dmitry.

    PS please see logs 2 closed - system directly, 2nd - diary of the conversion attempt using Acronis True Image Home 2010 disk image works 1 journal of P2V conversion attempt.

    If you do not have the pro more, you need to buy a USB key and plug it into the MBA... use it as a target. Once you have a system file of the previous laptop again, you have to manually choose what to copy across.

    Hello

    (1) what is the file format of the photos on the CD?

    (2) you are able to play another CD/DVD on this computer?

    (3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?

    (4) is it a Blu - ray disc?

     

    Install the codec for Blu - Ray. Your Blu - ray player should have come with a medium containing the codec. You can also use your favorite search engine and free research Blu - ray codec.
    The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.

    If you have a program that supports Blu - ray, then I suggest you to use the Troubleshoot utility and check for the issue.

    You can try the following methods and check if it helps.

    What Microsoft has to do not display a list of folder sizes in the detail view?  I want to just see my folders in the list view and know how big each folder is!  Is this a lot to ask?  Are you (MS) collusion with folder size software companies so that they can sell me something that should simply be in Details view? Is it because it could slow down my experience of 'Windows' that is not so great anyway.
