problems installing XP using vmware player

I used vmware for some time, but just re - install my virtual XP environment.

My host PC is running win7pro_32bit and I use vmware player (v4.0.0 build-471780)

When I go to start the installation (from CD using CD I used to build PCs in the past, but never in vmware), I see an error

"CDBOOT: couldn't find NTLDR.

I'm guessing that my winXP disk might be shot, but I can't believe (seems ok)... is it possible that I missed an obvious step?

I have attached a log if that helps?

Welcome to the community,

If please define the virtual CD-ROM drive in the virtual machine for "Legacy Emulation" settings and try again.

  • Issue of stop start to use VMware player 6.3.0 and a .iso file

    When I power on a virtual machine using an image (Ubuntu 7.04) .iso file in VMware Player 6.3.0 or VMware Workstation 10.3.0, startup stops at certain places and does no more.

    I saw the screen below first,

    Then I restarted the VM and I saw the screen below.

    I checked the settings of the virtual machine, but have no idea of what is wrong. I don't think that there is no mistake on virtual or physical machine or version number. The .iso file is reliable as well. Could someone help me?

    I solved the problem only by changing to use VMware Player 4.0.6 not version 6.3.0. It was probably incompatibility to halfway...

  • How to create a computer virtual file VHD using VMWare Player?

    I created a .vhd file using disk2vhd which contains my drive system (a Windows 7 installation). I would like to create a virtual machine using VMware Player of this image, but I have been unable to do. Can someone help me?

    Thank you very much

    You were quite right about the execution of my VM from an external drive USB - no problem at all.

    Today experiences confirm that:

    (a) I can run my VMS on Windows 7 and Windows 8 from an external USB

    (b) VMPlayer can create files hard greater than 2 TB in size (on Windows 7 and Windows 8 guests)

    (c) I can't reach my Data.VHDX file on my Windows 8 host

    (d) I can set up as a shared folder inside my VM on Windows 8

    (e) I can copy files from the shared folder to a drive on my virtual machine.

    Certainly, this closes this discussion - thanks a lot for your help.

  • How to access Oracle Applications 11i forms using Vmware Player?

    Hello

    Hello

    If you mean how to access the e-Business Suite from the virtual machine, and then you just navigate to the same URL as you would normally. You may need to put the alias of the machine in your hosts file if you reference it via the name of the computer rather than the IP address.

    If you mean you want to load the form in the form designer (for example) then you will need to FTP the form from the server to the client (as you normally would), then open it in your client (XP virtual machine).

    If you want to use the workflow designer (according to your initial condition) then you must ensure that the TNSNAMES.ora file in workflow Home Builder has an entry for your instance on Linux, and then you should be able to connect to the database directly.

    Greetings,

    I'm new to VMWare, and I Fusion for Mac OSX that accesses my Bootcamp (Win7) partition.

    I recently installed VMWare Workstation 9 for Windows that includes VMWare Player.

    Is there anyway to access my Mac OS x partition from the side Bootcamp as I do when I use Fusion on Mac to access Win7?

    I see the answer go both ways, but I wanted to post on the forum to be sure.

    Thank you!

    VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine cannot be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X and for that you have VMware Fusion of VMware Player/Workstation or you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

  • Connect two VMs via the connection to the local network using VMWare Player

    So this topic can be posted already, but I'm at the end of the roll, trying to find a solution. I have VMWare player installed 3.1.4 on an enterprise_x64 of Windows 7 system. I configured two virtual machines: OS1 comments: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.5_x64 and OS2 comments: WIndows 7 Ultimate_x64. I need the Linux server to act as a database server in the system environment, that I am creating. The Windows 7 VM will be the client PC. The Linux server is configured to be it's own DHCP server, so ideally the client PC connects to the field of tht and also follow the Linux server IP address.

    I tried all the options of networkign for each virtual computer, but no sem to create this type of connectivity. How to configure the network settings in VMWare Player to make two virtual computers can communicate with each other via a virtual network? (Communication with the host pc is not necessary)

    The short answer is to manually install the lack vmnetcfg.exe, Editor of virtual networkand configure VMnet2 without DHCP and host vNIC and then configure manually each virtual machine network adapter to use Custom VMnet2.

    The longer answer has already been given so many times that you should be able to find detailed directions, however...

    To install the lack vmnetcfg.exe, virtual network editor, run VMware-player-* .exe-e c:\vmptmp go to a command line and then in the c:\vmptmp folder, locate the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually ' C:\Program Files\VMware/VMware Player ' you can create a shortcut to it and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player if you want to access more easily to her.  This utility is not installed by default is however necessary to turn off the automatic bypass on VMnet0 if the system is multihomed and two or more physical host from the NETWORK adapter is active or you want change VMnet1 and VMnet8 subnet addresses or additional VMnets.

    The you must manually change the configuration of each virtual machine's .vmx file in Notepad, change an existing parameter and add another.

    Change:

    ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
    

    TO:

    ethernet0.connectionType = "custom"
    

    Add:

    ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet2"
    

    Note: Regardless of connectionType ethernet (n) shows it should be changed to "custom".

    Be sure also to Machine virtual are stop, not suspended and VMware Player is closed when you edit the .vmx config files.

    Here are some pictures to show.

    Here in the VMnet2 virtual network Editor is selected and is how it should be if you what to use your own DHCP server and the host does not have a vNIC.  You can change the IP address as a result of your needs.

    Here's the value VM card network NAT settings.

    This is what network settings Virtual Machine map will look like after you change the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file to use Custom VMnet2.

    BTW if you replace the Machine network card virtual settings through the user interface customized by something else then you will need to manually edit the .vmx config file to retrieve.   With VMware Workstation, you do not need to manually install the virtual network editor and should not manually edit the .vmx config file as the custom list box is still present and shows all VMnets to select from.

  • Conversion to a virtual machine using VMware Player?

    We have an environment consisting of ESX:

    • vCenter 4.0.0 (build 162856)

    • Runing host ESX 3.5.0 (build 163429)

    I have very limited exposure to VMware Player and who has been with the first versions.

    We received a request to make an existing virtual machine in Windows 2008 for use with VMware Player.

    1. Is this feasible?

    2. I had user Converter?

    3. I'm confused about the end result and how to deal with operating system licenses and IP information as they proliferate this image in VMplayer?

    Looking for some tips and information to help me get started.

    I usually copy the complete directory of the virtual machine on ESX to a host with vmplayer and it - just run without any conversion. Just doubleclick vmx-file...

    This works even when the virtual machine has snapshots, although I do not recommend.

    If I have problems they can usually be cured by a simple modification vmx and vmdk so I amy forget a step here.

    Anyway - just try and come back with error messages.

    Thank you

    Our web customer support is for vSphere 5.5 only. Please make sure it's the version of vCenter that you run.

    "If you are on 5.5 check if there are two plugin files in C:/ProgramData/VMware/vSphere Web Client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity /" If there is, we have seen that removing the oldest file and restarting the blank Server fixed this issue.

  • Major problem with transparency using Flash Player 11 on IE 9 with Intel HD graphics card

    There are some problems with Flash Player 11,0,1,152 with Intel HD graphics card when using Internet Explorer 9 with hardware acceleration enabled.

    Transparencies are not working!

    They appear just like the black areas on the page when wmode = "transparent".

    See my bug for details, test URL and screenshots.

    I logged a bug:

    To work around this problem, you can disable hardware acceleration in the settings of IE9 to prevent this, but performance is terrible and this is not a solution.

    Can someone from Adobe please tell me when this is likely to be resolved - this is a pretty catestrophic bug!
