VM in Vista appears on Windows Server 2008

I'm on my second test using a virtual machine, I converted from a Bootcamp Windows Vista partition, and I noticed in the disks hard affect component molten it is listed under "Windows Server 2008". The virtual machine is born a Bootcamp with Vista Ultimate SP1 partition on it.

Is it OK to leave it this way? What happens if I change the disc of Windows Vista? Is how important it?

Thank you

Peter

Hello

Just change it to Vista, there is no harm to be paid on the good operating system. Most likely there is no harm leaving Windows 2008 either, but it's just more logical to match the OS used.

One of the things that is used must have the correct configuration of VMware-tools for the guest operating system. It is also used for the virtual material used as you can see from this link:

http://sanbarrow.com/VMX/VMX-guestos.html

In addition, it is sometimes also used to apply workarounds. In all cases, it is preferable to match if there is a corresponding OS to choose from.

  • My PC will not repair or install an operating system. I tried with Vista, 7 and Windows Server 2008 installation media, but it does not get as much as the first menu.

    As it is said above. Everything worked fine until a few days ago. Now, it will fail to start correctly wih STOP 0 x 00000024 (ntfs corruption), but I can't boot from any installation media to reinstall the OS or repair Vista. All I get is the wallpaper but no menu. I tried to unplug the SATA HDD and inserting an IDE drive with no effect.

    I can't start to BACK among the several start-up/repair CD I tried but I am unable to boot from a DVD of Windows XP PE (BartPE or Hiren boot CD), but I can boot Knoppix Linux (5.3.1 and 6.4.3).

    All I want to do is run chkdsk /r and then either to repair or install a new OS to make it work again.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi Dave,.

    You can read the following article which talks about the same issue:

    Note: The steps mentioned in the article apply to Windows Vista n 7, so operating systems.

    1. do you have the original supplied with the computer disks?

    2 have you tried to use the original Vista disks?

    Hi all

    I am trying to install Oracle 10 g on windows Server2008 R2 (6.1), but it gives an error that OS is not supported. I tried to install below version.

    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4.0)
    Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows Vista x 64, Windows Server 2008 x 64,
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64, Windows 7 x 64

    But it fails with the error that OS version 6.1 is not supported. On the download page, does it say for 10.2.0.5 patch of My Oracle support for windows server 2008 R2, I patch p8202632_10205_MSWIN - x 86-64 but it requires an oracle pre-installed home.

    So, how can I install Oracle 10 g 10.2.0.4 don't settle and the patch requires a previous installation?

    The reason why I want to install Oracle 10 g is our Java application is running in production on JDK 1.4 and Oracle 11 g provides not for JDK 1.4 JDBC driver, there is a JDBC driver for Oracle 11 g that can work with JDK 1.4?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi Jonas,.

    As Troy mentioned, many of us have seen this "glitch"

    I recommend you to try and return the Version in 'General options' for Vista 64 bit, apply, flip it to "Server 2008 64 bit", apply.

    and see if that helps,

    If not, perhaps that the relocation of the VMware tools help?

    Or maybe delete VM from the inventory, then add it back (do not remove the disc if...!).

    Most of these function keys is related to a specific program (Fn + F3 to change plans with power management program)
