How to find out really currently used physical memory and swap space of hard disk to the virtual computer running?

Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.

First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?

Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.

*. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.

Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.

The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.
