Merge cannot make Boot Camp virtual machine: perhaps too many places of the VM?

I get the error message, well known in the VM library window "Bundle" & lt; pathname & gt; "" / Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot partition.vmware.vm Camp "is damaged and cannot be opened."   However, my problem is not solved by the solutions proposed elsewhere in this forum.

At the bottom of this post, I listed my host config and invited desired config.

Here is a brief history, followed by what happened when I tried the solution of WoodyZ published here.

  • I had Windows XP Pro SP2 on my Boot Camp partition, but somehow ended up 'inaccessible' SigmaTel audio device and the Leopard installation DVD could not repair it.  I imported this partition to Boot Camp in the Fusion as a virtual machine.  This virtual machine is now stored on the external hard drive in "/ Volumes/ExternHFS/_CCCnonBackup/virtualMachines/Boot partition.vmwarevm"+ Camp.»  This virtual machine still works when loading in the merger, but the sound does not work, nor made a called M-audio Transit USB connector.  That's why I decided to create a new partition in Boot Camp with a SigmaTel audio device cool.

  • There are Kubuntu and NetBSD virtual computers stored in another default folder: yangguizi/Users / / Documents/Virtual Machines /

  • Using wizard Boot Camp in Leopard, I erased my Boot Camp partition and then recreated with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP2.  (By the way, I've formatted this partition in NTFS.)  This Boot Camp partition is the device of SigmaTel installed and accessible from the control panel.

So I wanted to make a virtual machine of the new Boot Camp partition.  When I opened the merger, I highlighted the new Boot Camp partition down and clicked on the arrow of comments are starting to the right.  A window saying "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. "That window remained open for 45 minutes.  Finally, I closed merge by clicking the choice of menu to quit Vmware Fusion.

Thereafter, whenever I opened the merger, I saw the message "Bundle" / Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Machines virtuelles/Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Boot Camp partition.vmware.vm "is damaged and cannot be opened.' " next to the new Boot Camp partition.

When I highlighted this new Boot Camp partition in the VM library and you press the delete key, absolutely nothing changed, that I could see.  Right click on the list of this score showed that the menu choice 'delete' is gray.

Then I closed the merger, and then manually moving the file to the trash "/ Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp / '.

The next time I opened the merger, a new icon for the Boot Camp partition has been displayed at the bottom, with the subtitle "Powered Off".  When I clicked on the icon start Guest, a new folder/Boot Camp / was created in the same place, and the never-ending open window showing "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. " Blah, blah, blah.  If the cycle turned up.

I am at a loss what to try next.  Here are three assumptions about the problem:

  1. Fusion has been confused by the three communities during which I virtual machines.

  • Fusion has been confused by the fact that I have, potentially, two virtual machines called "Boot Camp partition".  The older is actually a virtual machine hard disk external.

  • When I installed XP in the Boot Camp partition, the external Firewire drive was running. Then installing Windows saw much more of partitions on which XP could in theory have been installed.  This may have confused merge somehow, even if I successfully installed XP on partition C, which was 32 GB.

  • Did fix you this problem?  Even if you haven't, what do you suggest me I try next?

    Thank you, Yang Guizi

    You can just get rid of the all/Users/lincoln/Library/Application Support / directory / Machines/virtual VMware Fusion; It should all be recreated. The virtual machine to help naos is than the pretreatment of Boot Camp. You don't want to get rid of all the of them, the only one in the specified directory. For example, there is a blank template in Applications/VMware Fusion.app whence that of your home folder.

    • Transfer of personal use of Boot Camp Virtual Machine license

      Hello!

      I bought a disc of system integrator OEM 64 - bit Windows 8 for use under the terms of the personal use license and it installed on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.
      It turns out that the integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000) is not available in configuration dual-boot.
      so I cannot use the dedicated graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6750 M) (for which I should apparently accused Apple, but that's off-topic anyway).
      Using the graphics card Intel (for example Quick Sync Video support) has been the reason why I chose a dual boot as opposed to a virtual machine configuration.
      Because this does not work, I will try and transfer the installation on a virtual machine in the near future.
      I understand that the personal use license does not allow me to run the two facilities (Boot Camp and VM), but do I have that right to say
      the conditions of licence it is for me to transfer the license to a virtual machine, as I have delete the partition Boot Camp of my MacBook Pro?
      Assuming the above is correct, how exactly would ensure the transfer is as painless as possible? For example:
      -AFAICT I would have to get in touch with a Microsoft Product Activation Center by phone.
      Is there a better and/or other method or is it my best bet?
      -It would be best to call before you do anything, or only after the installation of Windows in the VM (i.e. upon activation)?

      That's right, simply remove the installation of Boot Camp, then you can transfer to a virtual computer and reactivate by phone:

      1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

      2. then press the ENTER"" key.

      3. Select your "country" in the list.

      4. choose the option "activate phone".

      5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

      6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    • After update of El Capitan, Fusion 8 will not open the Boot Camp virtual machine

      Greetings!

      I'm having a problem with the Fusion 8 since my update to El Capitan.   My Boot Camp partition is functional and I can boot directly into it very well - all my files and data are intact.   However, when I try to start the machine Boot Camp in a virtual machine within OS x, I get the following error:

      Operation not permitted

      Cannot open disk "/ Administrator/Users / / Library/Application Support/VMWare Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp 2.vmwarevm/Boot Camp 2.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends."   Module 'Disc' on failed.   Unable to start the virtual machine. »

      I remember a message from the update of El Capitan, indicating that it is an element incompatible Parallels and disabled.   I thought it was the components of laggard remains from when I ran a parallel trial a year ago, but perhaps it is related?

      Help, please!

      Hi gang,.

      I have a solution for this!   After I created this post, I created a ticket with support and they solved it for me.

      Here's the skinny: El Capitan has changed something wise permissions to access data files on the Bootcamp partition.  VMWare said they were working to solve this, but in the meantime they had me do made me upward and short... just remove the entry of the virtual machine Boot Camp in Fusion and recreate it.   I recommend you save beforehand in case where, but this process does not affect the data on your partition, only one definition of the Fusion of the virtual machine and how you can access your score.

    • Cannot print from a virtual machine?

      Hello

      I'm using VMware Workstation 7 on a Workstation Windows 7 Professional.

      I have set up a virtual machine and fired successfully before.

      When I start the virtual machine, it does not connect to the printer and I press OK.

      When I press print in any application virtual machine, it shows that the document is printed.  I find that there is a print job in the queue of the virtual machine.  However, the State of the printer is "offline".

      When I change unselect 'work offline', there is an error message saying "there is an error found when printing the document XXXX to USB001.  Do you want to start or cancel the job.

      Is there something wrong?

      Your opinion is requested.

      You can print to the printer by OTHER computers via USB?

      Have you done a realitiy check to make sure that the USB port is always enabled in the virtual machine?

      Did you try to uninstall, reinstall the printer driver / printer port?

    • VMware Workstation is unable to open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum file size supported by the host file system.

      I'm transitioning from Windows XP (64-bit) on a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  I undertook to VMWare Workstation 6 7.0.1 in the process.  The problem is with a very large RAID 5 volume on the new system.  It's a score of 5.45 TB (TPG and NTFS).

      When I try to start a virtual machine on this volume, I get the message "VMware Workstation cannot open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum size of the files supported by the host file system.".  This is obviously not true.  If I copy the virtual machine to another drive on the system, it starts without a problem.

      Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this problem?

      try to add this line in the vmx file:

      diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck = "false".

      Maybe it helps.

      VMDK-type do you use?

      monolithicSparse? -C' is the only part type more?

      Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

      Thank you!!

      Dear all,

      I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

      VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

    • Cannot turn on new virtual machines

      Hello world

      I am running ESXi 5.1.0 (1483097) on a server Dell PowerEdge T300 with 24 GB of RAM and a couple of terabytes of HARD disk space. I have a 64 GB SSD as my default swap file location. I'm unable to turn any VMs created on this server (has only one handful of other virtual machines running on it currently, not more than 4-8GB RAM each). When I try to turn on a new virtual machine, I get the following error:

      An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM <vmname>.

      Has no power on the virtual machine.

      Could not power on VM: insufficient resources.

      Cannot extend the pagefile to 32768 k k 93504.

      Cannot extend the pagefile to 32768 KB 94208 KB.

      There are lots of free RAM available, and I don't have in my pool only resource that all virtual machines live subject. I tried to set the location of the swap file VM to store data of the VM, but that has no effect. Any ideas?

      Hello

      you are indeed running out of space on your destination of swap - you have only 56 MB of free space on your SSD. You're also out of space for swap on datastore1 and 4. I suggest check it and delete all unnecessary data. Please note that by default without reservation, the VM creates a swap file that is equal to the size of RAM allocated to it. If the startup fails with swap on the hard drive, try quick vMotioning or cold - migrate the virtual computer to another storage. Also you could do a lot better with the free space by consolidating all your storage to a single VMFS volume.

    • Cannot start a virtual machine from an ISO stored on the NFS share

      We have an NFS share on our Windows 2003 server to serve the ISOs for virtual machines

      However if we have attached an ISO to a virtual machine and configured to boot from it, it does not find the ISO, just attempts to boot from the network, but if copy us the ISO in a data store local it will start and install correctly.

      We set the NFS share for anonymous access on Windows Server, we tried with both read and write permissions, but still no luck

      Anyone can get an idea about this

      Thank you

      Kimble

      ESXi must connect to the NFS share with the root account.  You will have to map the root login to an account on the Windows Server.   You can see a sample of the instructions here - http://www.sohoadvisers.com/tutorials/vmware-esxi/connect-esxi-to-windows-nfs.

      "Unable to write file in Virtual Machine.Aborting the copy file operation."

      The virtual machine's memory is 2 GB, and the file is about 900 MB. I think that there is enough memory to hold the file.

      My question is:

      Any folk can help solve the question above?

      Thanks in advance.

      Hello

      To be able to copy this file in your virtual machine, you need about 2 GB of free space on the disk in the virtual machine on the disk that has the temp folder.

      The size of the RAM to the virtual machine is not really important.
