• Identity of the wrong optical drive in VMWare Fusion 5.0

  I've just upgraded to the latest version of VMWare Fusion 5.0.2

  I have a Mac Mini 2.3 GHz quad core i7 machine with 16 GB of RAM

  I am running Mac OSX 10.8.2

  I also just upgraded my windows from Windows XP Professional to Windows 8 Pro

  When you try to install the software (Cyberlink) and drivers for my new LG Blu - Ray Burner (model BE14NU40), I get an error message saying that the software is ONLY for LG brand drives.  This seems odd, since it's what I have.  When I checked the Device Manager in Windows 8 I've seen that for some reason, VMWare changes the identity of the optical drive to a NEC for some reason any... which prevents the software and drivers from loading.

  Does anyone have an idea how to fix the identity changed my optical in VMWare Player so that Windows 8 Pro will know that it IS really an LG drive?

  Thank you...

• CD/DVD drive will not appear on VMWare Fusion.

  Recently I have not been able to use the CD/DVD-ROM drive on vmware fusion. I try to connect the physical device by clicking on the image of the CD rom at the bottom right, select Connect by car, but when I put in a CD, nothing happens.

  When I go into "My computer" the drive icon is not present.

  I tried all settings in Fusion as changes (move to "Reader of CD/DVD physical specify" instead of "Automatically detect physical CD/DVD drive") but still no luck.

  I can't find any help on this issue. Help, please.

  Yes, it can.

• VMware Fusion 6: Retail Box availability?

  OK, I have to ask (because I do whenever there is a new version of Fusion): where and when can I buy a copy of Fusion 6 in a box retail? For Fusion 5, it was available at the local Apple Store - but they seem to have given up selling Fusion. Amazon has not in the list, either. Finally gave up areas of the retail of VMware? Thank you!

  Clay (that guy who likes to have boxes of software on their Board)

  Physical boxes have been interrupted since VMware Fusion 6. I'm sorry.

• Using the stand-alone converter 5 with entry as local windows 7 in vmware fusion 4 output, the output is a folder with many files. How can I get this folder into a single file with the extension windows7.vmwarevm?

  I use standalone converter where I am converting my local windows 7 in vmware fusion 4 at the exit. When I made the migration wizard previously, I had an output of a windows7.vmwarevm file. However, when I made the converter, I had a folder called windows7. In this case, I had several files.

  Is there a way for me to convert all these files into one file, that is to say: windows7.vmwarevm? do I need to use the converter or other vmware tools?

  Welcome to the community,

  Please take a look at Re: how to convert a package/package of my folder on drive hard/vmware fusion? to see if that helps. This is a pretty old post, but I think that it is still valid.

• Updated to Lion - VMware Fusion will not load VM

  I updated today to Lion and neglected if this would affect VMware Fusion. After the installation of Lion I was invited, at the start of VMware Fusion 2.x, that it was not compatible and must restart the OSX in 32-bit mode.

  Instead, I upgraded my version 2.x VMW 3.1.3 (416484)... While VMW 3.1.3 starts now I get the following error message:

  Cannot open the disk/users... Instant Boot Camp partition.vmarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk or one of the disks it depends on the reason: the specified file is not a virtual disk

  Please advise... have spent a few hours trying to solve this problem and I'm still looking at a brick wall...

  Thank you

  Someone else will have to offer advice on the question of whether 2.0.8 Fusion will work with Lion.

  "Fusion 2.x is incompatible with Lion" have a look at: VMware Fusion 3 support for Mac OS X Lion (10.7)

• Is it possible to uninstall McAfree branch of vmware Fusion once installed?  My D: drive shows McAfree lnsigna and will NOT work?

  Is there anyway to uninstall vmware Fusion installed security McAfree?  My D: drive has lnsigna it McAfree and does NOT work?

  Is it possible to uninstall McAfree branch of vmware Fusion once installed?

  I'll assume that your question is in fact to return to the physical optical drive (rather than the image of McAfee), does not actually uninstall McAfee.

  Right click on the D: drive and eject it. Then go to the Virtual Machine > CD/DVD and select use physical disk drive. It is documented in the release notes to the title of "The rest McAfee antivirus ISO mounted".

• problem with Boot Camp, VMware Fusion 3, ethernet does not (not driver)

  Hello guys,.

  I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed in Boot Camp and I'm running as a virtual machine using VMware Fusion OSX 10.6.6 3.1.2.

  The problem I have is that the ethernet does not work under VMware, even with VMware Tools installed.  Device Manager shows no driver installed.

  I googled and found a lot of suggestions to add ethernet0.virtualDEV = "e1000" to the simultaneous file, but I looked and this line is already there.

  I tried reinstalling VMware, VMware Tools, the Boot Camp drivers, NIC Add/Remove VMware settings, change NAT to the deck and vice versa. Nothing works.

  Any suggestions?

  The CARD is an Intel PRO 1000 MT and uses the E1G6032E.sys driver that is located in the:

  C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nete1g3e.inf_amd64_neutral_7f08406e40c6ede2

  You will need to copy the 3 files to a temporary folder or on the desktop to be able to access it from the device for a manual installation manager.

• Running VMWare Fusion 5.0.1 Thunderbolt Drive

  Hi all

  I am currently evaluating VMWare Fusion 5.0.1 and I my VM in my love at first sight drive (Seagate Goflex Portable).

  The guest is Windows 7 x 64

  -Allocated memory: 8 GB

  -Processor allowed: 4 cores

  The host is MAC OSX 10.7.5

  -Processor: Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz

  -Total memory: 16GB

  I use the backup process within this comments and after a few hours of operation, VMWare Fusion does still not and crash and there is nothing I can do.

  I tried logout / stop / restart my mac through normal way (click on the Apple icon and select the menu) without success. and the only way to restart my mac is press the power for a few seconds (hard reset)

  If I move/copy VM file in my internal drive, this problem does not occur

  All the world experience similar question, run the virtual machine of the Thunderbolt drive?

  Also, if you need log file, please let me know that you need and I will he pass here

  PPS: I am to evaluate the software, I can not lift with VMWare support ticket

  Cool, let me know how it goes.

  I have too was doing some research on the same yesterday. I was focused on the memory management on the side of mac, rather than with the parameters of fusion.

  There is this command "purge" which converts all inactive memory in memory without having to restart the mac. More free memory means any chance of merger to the detriment of.

  Depending on the setting of fusion you found, I knew that the neutralization of him would make a difference. Because by default an automatic unbufferred mode for vista and later guest operating system which is what is needed for the best peformance.  That's why I was excluded from that.

• 17 GB of drive space missing after the crash of vmware fusion and force restart

  During my last installation of SuSE Linux, I had to manually reboot my system because my system crashed.

  After the reboot, I deleted the virtual machine of Susa and started again installation. To my surprise 17 GB were mission on my hard drive and I can't find the files responsible for this. I checked my system of files larger than 500 MB via ' find /-size M + 500 ", but found nothing: (.)

  Do you know where are the 17 GB or where vmware fusion may have experienced a system core dump or something like that?

  Please help, I need the 17 GB for resettlement :).

  Thank you.

  Simon

  I have discovert that was missing only 3 GB of the 20 GB that I deleted before trying to install SuSE. But I deleted all the files that I specified after the crash. The trash is always empty so I'm a bit confused were are the 17 GB.

• PC VMware fusion migration agent: can I migrate to an external drive

  I'm evaluating merger 7 and try to migrate existing PC. Is there a way I can create a vmware file which I can move in a HARD drive rather than perform the migration on the network?

  Thank you

  Ravi

  ravi123201110141 wrote: he talks about the installation and use of "Vmware fusion migration Agent" to perform the migration. Is this different from "VMWare VCenter converter"

  While the two results in a P2V and share some code/software between then, however, they are different products.  The Agent of Migration of VMware Fusion is a limited subset of what VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is able to do.  You said in your OP ""is there a way I can create a vmware file that I can move in a HARD drive rather than perform the migration on the network?". VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is the way to go if that's what you want to do.  Personally I would never, under any circumstances use the Agent of Migration of VMware Fusion and instead use other disk imaging software then manually create a Virtual Machine VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is the way to go otherwise.
