switching from XP to mac with vmware fusion

I have a HP Pavilion with pre-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. My HP just died. I would like to move my copy of Windows XP on my macbook using Vmware Fusion. I tried using the recovery discs and was a failure. I got the error message "the PC recovery discs to does NOT supported this model of PC. Is there a was to do this?

Unfortunately, an OEM Windows XP license is not transferable to another computer.  The death of the original computer, does the license OEM Windows XP (R.I.P.)

  • Genuine Windows 7 on MacBook Pro running in the partition, BootCamp with VMware Fusion 3.1

    I'm having a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

    I installed Windows 7 on my Bootcamp partition and until recently he worked well as well when I ran into VMWare Fusion.

    When I boot on my Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition, everything is OK.  But then when I run it in VMWare Fusion it says that my copy is not genuine.

    I just went through the automated phone system and entered the codes, and so now while I'm running Fusion Windows is genuine.

    I fear, however, that when I return to the execution of the partition, Bootcamp, Windows will say that is not true, once again.

    Only, I have a copy of Windows 7 and can only run from the VMWare Fusion or Bootcamp partition at any time.

    How can I fix it if Windows is more said that it is not authentic, when I switch from a training camp and VMWare Fusion?

    I need to be able to run Windows while I'm on the side of Mac at the same time

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you used the same Windows Installer Bootcamp, VMWare Fusion product key, there is the question.  You can only install and activate a 1 license of Windows 7.  The second installation requires own license that you can buy on the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch

  • Recently switched from PC to Mac. I have the CD for the CS6 Adobe Creative Suite for Mac and PC. How can I get the serial number of the CD Mac OS with no disk drive?

    Recently, I switched from PC to Mac. On my PC, I got the Adobe Creative Suite Design & Web Premium (academic edition) CS6. I bought the product through my school and have two installation CD, for Windows and Mac.

    I try now to download this product on my new Macbook, but do not have a hard drive. When I check my saved items, it says that I have the Creative Suite CS6, but under the platform, he said "Winner" and serial number is for Windows product. Of course, this won't work for my Mac OS.

    So my question is, how do I get the serial number of the installation CD Mac OS with no disk drive? I guess that the numbers are different because when I put the Windows product number in the install window on my Mac, it does not work.

    So my question is, how do I get the serial number of the installation CD Mac OS with no disk drive?

    You use this procedure to share your serial number CS6 win to Mac CS6.

    Exchange a product Adobe of a different version of the language or platform

  • Want to switch from Windows to Mac OS for Production Premium CS5.5

    Want to switch from Windows to Mac OS for Production Premium CS5.5, get a serial number error, assumes that I have a serial number of Windows and need a serial number for Mac OS?

    Not possible... Windows programs do not work on a Mac, and vice versa... and a serial number of Windows is ONLY for Windows program

    Your version is also too old for Adobe to provide a platform swap

    You may be able to use your current version to get a special price if you buy the CS6 for Mac

    Link to buy the CS6 via phone http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6.html

    From what I've learned by an employee, most recent Mac 10.7 must subscribe to the cloud instead of buy CS6

    Please report back with your operating system if you are able to buy CS6

  • Major problems with VMWare Fusion 3.1.1

    I just installed the new version of VMWare Fusion 3.1.1 on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8). What a DISASTER! When I allowed him to install the new version of VMWare Tools, it came with a series of warnings that various drivers (mouse, VMXNet, SVGA, etc.) could not be installed. After the required reboot, the PC (Windows XP) came about a 3 "X 4" format (minimum screen resolution) and it will connect is no longer on the network. I got my old version of VMWare (v3.1.0) of my Time Machine drive, but the 3.1.1 installation process has apparently changed other things deep in the bowels of the Mac OS and the v3.1.0 recovered would not go. Is there anywhere on the web that I can download a copy of the from VMWare Fusion 3.1.0 .dmg file so that I can use it to try to get back to where I started (my original drive has only version 3.0)? If someone has means of ideas let me know.

    You can download the versions up to published on VMWare support site: VMWare Fusion downloads. Click the link view history under downloads to view previous versions.

    Before running the installation, follow these steps:

    (1) start your virtual machine and remove tools from VMWare using Add / Remove programs.

    (2) to the VMWare Fusion 3.1.1 DMG run the program uninstall to remove VMWare Fusion. This will NOT delete your virtual machines.

    (3) restart your machine.

    (4) install VMWare Fusion 3.1.0

    (5) start your virtual machine and install the VMWare tools.

  • Known issues with VMWare Fusion 2.0.2 and FTP/SSL?

    Hello

    I have a virtual machine in VMWare Fusion 2.0.2 running Windows XP with SP3. I have the Windows Firewall and AVG Free running.

    I use FileZilla as my FTP client. I am able to connect to a server using the vanilla FTP protocol. No problems.

    However, when I try to use FTP/SSL to connect to a server, I get time-out errors as it gets stuck on "initializing TLS... ».

    I tried to disable the Firewall and AVG. Nothing helps.

    I tried other FTP clients (CuteFTP, for example). Same result.

    And, I am able to connect through FTP/SSL and FileZilla to my host (Mac OS 10.5.6) operating system and another computer in my house running Windows 7.

    So I narrowed down it to something in this specific virtual Windows machine installation, but I don't know what else to try.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    How is the Machine to stop virtual network set up, NAT or bridged?  If NAT have you tried to use bridged?  Note: If you change from NAT to Bridged while the Virtual Machine is running, the IP address must be released or renewed.  If you are unsure how to do this then just restart the Virtual Machine.

  • Problems to install a downloaded version of Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 on my mac through VMWARE FUSION

    Hi all

    I hope you can help as I'm going crazy! It's my first MAC if im a complete noob.

    Me being lazy has decided to download Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 from https://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/DesktopDefault.aspx/tabid-2/ site

    It contains 3 files which I had to download separately:

    Vista_HomeBasic_SP1_32bit_English_Download_Part1_66G - 02017.exe

    Boot.wim

    install.wim

    Once I had downloaded these. I pulled the top of VMWARE AU12EME 2 but could not detect anything. If I then wacked out on a memory stick and ran the .exe on my windows pc. This integrated then all the files I downloaded a good big folder of Vista.

    So once again I pulled up to VMWARE fusion 2.0 but still nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I heard people talking that I need an ISO file? But I searched all files that I downloaded and installed, and there is nothing similar. The only thing I can think is that I need to burn the VISTA folder I extracted from my pc to DVD and try running disk on my Mac. But that would make a difference that I tried to run from my DESKTOP MAC key and memory? In addition, there is no ISO files.

    Please HELP I'm worried that I just lost my money!

    I did a little research, and it was one of the best hits on How to make Vista DVD bootable with WIM downloaded files that I think sums up your situation.

    Because I had the file oscdimg.exe since Install Kit automated (Windows AIK) I gave it a try and it worked.  In other words, by using the folder of Vista and its content that has been created by you run the files you downloaded you should be able to create a Bootable ISO Image, which you can then use to create a DVD, if you have the right software to burn an ISO Image on DVD.  (Maybe you could do this on the Mac) Although if you want to you have even burn the ISO Image to DVD just copy it on the Mac and assign it to the CD/DVD in the settings of Virtual Machines.

    Other documents you may find useful: Microsoft TechNet > TechNet Library > Windows > Windows Vista > Windows Vista technical library Roadmap > Windows Vista: deployment > Kit to install Windows Automated (Windows AIK) > Deployment Tools Technical Reference > Command - line Tools Technical Reference > Oscdimg command-line Options

    Just to let you know that it took me about 20 minutes to do a search on Google and create the ISO Image and the test that I could start a VM in the Fusion and if you need to download and install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to get the oscdimg.exe file it obviously will take you a little longer, but it is doable and the solution vs safer trying to get the file oscdimg.exe or cdimage.exe from a link sent illegally into the file.

    In any case the information presented here can solve your problem of creating a Bootable Image DVD/ISO.
