How can I create a simple VM using the EFI firmware?

I created a VM with OS 'Another 64 - bit' and edited the .vmx file, change only the "bios" = firmware firmware = "efi".

Whenever I start the virtual machine, it uses the BIOS instead of the EFI. I can see when to start directly to the firmware, or by starting with a 8.1 Windows Installer disk and installing Windows checking connects immediately after that it started ("" detected boot environment: legacy ' ").

How create/configure a virtual machine to use systematically the EFI, without her 'crush' or 'back' to my configuration?

I use VMware Fusion 7.1.0 (2314774).

Hi michielvoo

Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

I wrote an article on the use of EFI in a machine virtual here: Boot via the EFI firmware | PlanetVM

Basically, what you're doing are correct. The part, I wonder about is if the double quote characters you use double quotes a normal and not the "fantasies" (as you can see in the above article, these are those fancy)

It takes standard double quotes on your keyboard.

Another possible reason to make it work is not is if you edit the vmx while your merger still works as he could return your changes to protect the virtual machine.

If you don't know everything that's wrong with your vmx file, then send the vmware.log file is also in this folder to an answer here and I or someone else will take a look and see if everything's okay what is wrong.

  • How can I create a simple virtual machine with the CD in a newWorkflow

    I created a new workflow with simple virtual machine and added a cdrom workflow but an error is shown.

    How can I reuse of so that the new created VM add a new cdrom in a workflow

    Captura.PNG

    Help me please

    First of all, you only need a single attribute of type VC:VirtualMachine, not two as in the screenshot. You don't need to specify its value; When the first workflow completes, its output should be attributed to this attribute, and then the assigned value must be passed as input to the second workflow.

    To check/edit links, open the first workflow to change, go to the 'Visual links' tab and make sure the workflow output is line connected to the attribute. Do the same for the second workflow, and then make sure that the attribute is connected to the line to the corresponding input parameter.

    Take a look at the workflow attached if you don't know how the maps should look like.

  • How can I create columns of text using Dreamweaver cs6?

    Hello.  I can't create text columns.  As an experiment, I created a div with a width to 450px and 200 px in height.  After typing the first line inside the div tag, the type goes to the second line when it reaches the width of the div to 450px.  But when you type in the second line, the text continues beyond the width of the div to 450px.  When I checked to see how it appears in the browser window, the text goes beyond the viewport.  Why does that happen? And how can I make the text to stay within the width of the div?   Thank you.

    You must be typing a single string of characters without spaces.
