How to access virtual machines after installing fresh windows?

Hello

I use windows xp & installed the virtual machines in the D drive to a folder. My windows crashed and I reinstalled windows fresh. Now please guide me how can I access my virtual machines? Already I again install vmware workstation 5. is it necessary to build my virtual machines again or there is another way if the already insatalled VM will connect?

As long as you still have the files of virtual disk (hard) of the guest, you'll be fine.

Open VMware Workstation and select to open an existing computer. Browser to the folder where the guest is stored. Select the .vmx file and guest must be back again.

If you have only the left hard, create a new virtual machine (using the same type of SCSI adapter) when you are prompted to add a drive choose to add an existing one. Navigate to the hard and add it. Fact.

  • How to recover virtual machines after a planned recovery

    Hello

    I did successfully a planned resumption of a VM and it went well.  I use replication of vSphere.  Now I want to recover the virtual machine on the protected site, but I found that I can't use reprotect, since I do not use replication based on the Bay.

    I tried to create a new plan of stimulus on the recovering site, but I get an error message saying that there is already a recovery plan for this virtual machine.

    How can I return my virtual machine on the protected site?  Should I first delete the recovery plan?

    Thank you.

  • Oracle Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed or not?

    Hello
    Does anyone know how to check if the Oracle (JVM) Java Virtual Machine is installed?
    I have a 10G (10.2.0.3) performed on a win 2003 Server installation. When I simply check the products installed in YES I can't find an entry of JVM. So I guess it is not installed. On the other hand, when I when I try to add components to the installation of Oracle, again, I don't see not a JVM option.
    Maybe it's a separate product, or a product of one of the components installation Oracle sup which, if installed, installs the default JVM.
    Thank you.

    You can check this with DBA_REGISTRY:

  • How to install fresh windows 8 or 8.1 on hp pavilion g7 A8 AMD vision

    Hello!

    My 8.1 Windows Update has been getting problem he ask to update windows I refresh now I get small footprint in the C: drive, I want to install fresh windows to get more sapce on C drive but without lossing in my other data disks now how do

    Help me

    Since you're working from a laptop, I suppose that you have only one physical disk. You will need to backup all your data on an external hard drive before reinstalling windows.

    However, if 'windows update' is to install the updates, it will just reinstall these updates with the new facility. If you see a screenshot of the error you received, it would be easier for me to identify what happened and better help.

    Something that you can try before reinstalling windows is running software like CCleaner to clean the temporary files on your system. This will ger RID a lot of irrational data that may accumulate on your computer. It can remove certain parameters, so be sure to check that you delete only things you don't need, as the process permanently deletes the user files.

  • Switchable graphics after installing new window. No ATI driver on the site of HP for Pavilion dm4 1140EZ

    Hello

    I had a problem with the black screen after logo window at startup. To solve it, I installed fresh windows 7 on my laptop Pavilion dm4 1140EZ. My laptop has Intel HD and ATI mobility Radeon 5000 graphics cards. On the HP site I downloaded the driver for Intel, but it lacked ATI driver for my product.  I went to the AMD site and downloaded catalyst control + driver for my ATI card but Intel graphics stops working correctly and graphic ATI did not work as well as on the Device Manager it has shown the device is functioning properly.

    After uninstall of Catalyst Manager Intel graphic it was OK. How should I me switchable graphics? My laptop is warming further than it used to be I think may be due to works on Intel graphics only the video quality is very bad. Kindly help me to install progressively switchable graphics.

    You can use the recovery media to reinstall the graphics driver AMD. Never install the Catalyst Control Center and the AMD driver. The graphics driver for a laptop with switchable graphics is specially coded to provide this functionality. Do not install the Intel driver separately because it would cause the feature switchable graphics to stop working. AMD owns ATI.

    Find the graphics card AMD driver software, click in the box to the left and then click on install.

  • How to access my password forget password in windows 7

    How to access my computer after windows 7password forgeting

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • Need to install fresh windows

    Long story short, I contracted somehow malware that made my unnecessary desktop icons. I can't click on them or right click anything. The only way I can manuver IE and on any program that I can start is to use desktop shortcuts.

    I run Malwarebytes and got rid of the number 1. I never got navagate Malwarebytes good enuf to view the log file. The virus (if I had one) seems to have disappeared, but has changed some things in my regisery. As I said, I can't click on anything on my desktop. I CAN navagate my Start menu without any problem. But when IE opens or ANY other program, I can navagte only these programs through shortcuts to the office.

    Can't seem to do here so I tried to reinstall windows using my Vista Home Premium disc. I did with a previous pc using XP. But for some reason, I can't find an option just uninstall windows so I can install a new version of windows. I like to always keep all files and data, but simply install fresh windows once again. To me that seems the easiest was around my problem.

    Is it possible to do what I ask of my Vista restore disk?

    BTW, I don't have a restore point to fall back on. My hard drive is close to being complete and I used the restore function a few days before this problem and now I can not find a restore point before I fell on my current problem.

    I was told their may be a reg backup utility that comes with Vista. Is this true? This could be everything that I need to fix my problem?

    Thank you

  • How can I print my virtual machine XP installed on my computer Windows 7 host?

    I can't print from my virtual XP machine which is installed on my Windows 7 host operating system.

    The printer is correctly installed on my Windows 7 OS and I can print pages of test and documents through it.

    But I can't get my printer to print anything from my XP virtual machine.

    What I've tried so far:

    I tried to install my printer in my XP virtual machine as a local printer. The installation wizard installs the drivers of its own database. The icon for the printer appears in the Printers window. But the test page does not print, or it allows to print a simple text document.

    I tried to install my printer in my XP virtual machine as a printer attached to another computer on my network. To counter this, I enabled files and printers sharing on my printer to Windows 7 host operating system and then shared to the network. Then I went back to my XP virtual machine to activate the printer installation wizard to install a printer on a network. The installation wizard will search the shared network printers, but do not find anything. I have the opportunity to enter things like the address of the network printer and so on. But I have no idea what to conclude from these boxes.

    I did my best to make sure that the Windows 7 host operating system and the virtual XP machine are on the same network, which is a working group, not a homegroup. But I can have failed at that because I don't know much about networks.

    The printer is a Brother HL-5050.

    Parallel cable.

    LPT1

    This problem is not resolved. Anyone having this same problem with a parallel cable connected printer will continue to look for the solution.

    BUT he is no longer a problem I have to deal with.

    I discovered by accident that my printer has a USB port in the back. So, I went parallel to the USB cable. This allowed me to select and activate the printer in the virtual mode menu bar Windows XP special on the top edge, by clicking on the "USB" button there. Allowing the printer in XP virtual mode turns off also in the reception of Windows 7 OS. But then 'release' the printer of the XP virtual machine allows the printer under Windows 7 again. Not much for me.

  • How to change the virtual machine after clone

    I'm a beginner to learn vm.

    Now, I already cloned a new existing virtual machine in a virtual machine.

    Then, I want to change it.

    (2) change the number of the processor

    (3) change the size of the memory

    (4) change the size of the disk

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    You can clone the virtual computer to a model first and then deploy it to this model. For customizing the properties of guest operating system, you can use sysprep (from Microsoft) or customization Spesification Manager (from VMware vCenter Server). Of course, you can also configure it manually change settings menu (from vSphere Client).

  • Cannot depend on the virtual machine after reboot

    Hello world

    Thanks for reading this post.

    My version VM ESXI4.1.0, 348481.

    Here's my problem:

    One day my VM was hanged, and I tried to restart.

    After the reboot, it can be turn on. And I tried to remove the inventory and to recreate the virtual machine.

    However, I can't find the. VMX file in the data store.

    So I tried to create a new virtual machine and put the files in this folder, but it can also work.

    Please see the capture screen, (http://clip2net.com/s/2aNUG)

    Could someone give me guidance and advice how to solve?

    Thank you very much.

    According to the latest vmware.log file, you have tried to access one of the files base/flat with a wrong header file (40 GB)! This hopefully not bad data on the virtual disk. In any case, I've recreated the missing files (see attachment), so you should be able to redo the work of the virtual machine. Because the vmware.log file did not help, I've recreated the instant chain according to the timestamps of the delta file.

    Please follow it below mentioned steps exactly to avoid problems in case something does not work as expacted:

    • Make sure the flat files as well as files 2 6 delta are still in place (not renamed,...)
    • remove the virtual machine from the inventory of the host (right-click-> "Remove from inventory") ESXi
    • delete the temporary/second .vmx unless there is a special need for it
    • Download the files from the .zip file in the folder of the virtual machine on the data store
    • Click right newly downloaded virtual machine's .vmx file and choose "add to the inventory.
    • create a new snapshot (this is important!)
    • Turn on the virtual machine

    If something is not or you have questions, please send back before moving on to the other steps.

    If everything works as expected you should consider the 'Delete All' snapshots in snapshot Manager. This will release not only almost 200 GB of disk space, but can also improve the performance of the virtual machine. Because the size of the snapshot, remove snapshots may take some time, probably in hours!)
