• The file system on which "/ Users/SterlingButters/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp.vmwarevm' lies is very low on free space."

  I get the following error message when I try to start my VM and I don't know why, I have repaired permissions and I have about 50 GB of spare on the partition. It was great to work for a long time and the only thing I can think of, that I have done before, was until I started getting the error message I mounted the BootCamp partition and moved the files into it, then dismantled. I looked towards the top of the topic online and don't have much, (I usually are not) then I came to the experts for help. So, really, I just need to be able to start up in my VM without the error message, THANKS!

  This error has nothing to do with Boot camp as far as I know. Your mac partition is running out of free space. To resolve this issue, you must first remove file from Mac partition.

  For starters, I wud you suggest to empty the trash., remove files from the downloads folder. delete the old files, movies, music, photos etc... choice is up to you.

  Please launch disk utility (/ applications/utilities) and check the free space of Mac HD.

• I can't install Fusion 4 on Boot Camp?

  I have Windows 7 and Lion installed on a MacMini using Boot Camp. Can I install VMware Fusion without having to reinstall Windows 7 and the Windows that are already installed on the MacMini software?

  Here is a KB article, which should cover everything you need on Boot Camp and Fusion 4:

  In other words: Yes, you can actually run an exsiting partition Boot Camp in Fusion.

• PGP Whole Disk Encryption and Boot Camp Partition

  I use the PGP 10.0 Beta for the last two weeks (it is now been shipped and is the current version), and one of the new features is Whole Disk Encryption on Boot Camp partitions. It works fine - except for the fact that VMWare Fusion 3.0.1 can not load the Boot Camp partition is encrypted (it starts initially, but does not advance beyond what I suppose is the PGP bootloader).

  I know that I can create a virtual machine and run Windows to work around the problem - I'm just curious to know if this is something that VMWare are willing to study and operate now PGP 10.0 has been shipped.

  It seems to be fixed/supported in a future version?

  Thank you very much .

  This looked interesting so I tried myself. I downloaded a demo of PGP 10.0 and encrypted to my hard drive which has OS X 10.5.8 and a Windows 7 Boot Camp partition.

  After starting the machine virtual Boot Camp in Fusion, I see a black screen that says bootguard _

  

  I guess that's also what you see?

  You're right - it's the PGP bootloader which replaced the Windows loader in the MBR of the physical disk. Fusion accesses the data in the partition through Mac OS X, which already has access to the decrypted data. The boot loader assumes that the drive is always encrypted and fails when he tries to decrypt again.

  Fortunately, Boot Camp VMs include a copy of the MBR (with the boot code and the partition table) in a separate file, so it's very easy to fix:

  #. Start the machine virtual of Boot Camp (not native!) with a Windows CD/DVD installation (or ISO image).

  #. Go to the repair command prompt.

  #. Run the fixmbr command in Windows XP or bootrec /fixmbr in Windows Vista or Windows 7 to replace the MBR code.

  In this way, your Boot Camp virtual machine will use the default Windows boot loader to access the already decrypted data, while the native Boot Camp startup will use code PGP MBR (which is always the physical disk) to access the prompt for the PGP password and decrypt the drive.

• VMware Fusion 5 and upgrade to Windows 8-

  Hello

  I am trying to install a partition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 bootcamp. The installer is at 30% and dies. The error message is "Windows 8 installation doesn't have." The process stops and returns me to Windows 7.

  I ran the process a few times with the same results. I ran the upgrade wizard. He tells me about a secure boot is only not available and maybe I need to install an application to play DVDs on Windows 8.

  Someone at - it advice? Bit a noob to Windows stuff so apologies if I'm missing out some crucial information. I have had a look through the forum and could not see anyone have reported a similar problem.

  See you soon

• Microsoft and Boot Camp partition

  Hey everybody! Yesterday I tried to install Windows on my MacBook Air 128 GB (latest edition) using Boot Camp. Boot Camp worked well, until in the middle to partition hard drive when the computer turns off. When I started the computer once again there was no sign of Windows anywhere. However, when I looked in my computer storage I have only 77GB available (the amount I selected for the mac OS during the partitioning, the rest of the space was for Windows). Online, I read that it's very easy to delete the partition, and that all you had to do was run Boot Camp again and restore the hard drive. However, when I try this I get the message that I must have at least 50 GB of free space available. I easily have enough space available when you include section partition that I can't access, but I don't have 50GB of space on the side of Mac partition. Does anyone have advice on how I should fix this problem? Is the only way I can to delete things as much as possible out of storage on Mac? I already tried this and remove as much as possible get to 50 GB of free space, including the section 'other '. What is the only way to proceed? If someone has any advice on how to remove unwanted useless in the section "others"? Thank you so much in advance!

• What windows and Boot Camp for MBP 13 end 2011

  I have a MBP 13 end 2011. I want to install Windows 8.1 to launch my CAD software. I use Boot Camp Assistant 6. I run on OS X and have 4 GB of ram. Is this ok or are there other options recommended?

  Models 13 inches have the GPU from Intel. Your Mac has an Intel HD3K. Older versions of the software may perform better, but more recent versions can be slower on older hardware. What is the possibility of using a dual-GPU MBP? The more RAM, the better it is.

• VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

  At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

  1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
  2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
  3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
  4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

  I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

  1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
  3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
  4. Restart comments

  A few quick thoughts:

  1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

  2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

  See you soon,.

• VMware Fusion 5 and Yosemite

  Hello

  Does VMware Fusion 5 support Yosemite Mac OS X 10.10.4?

  I just upgraded from Mountain Lion, but when I tried to run a virtual machine that was working on the Mountain Lion, I get "could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory."

  Thank you.

  Hello Yu Chun-Pong,

  The answer is 'No', and follows the answer a little longer...

  I'm sorry to inform you that Fusion 5.x does not work under OS X Yosemite.

  5.x end merger of general support was on 23/08/2014, before the release of Yosemite.

  You can watch the Matrix of Life Cycle of the products for the exact dates.

  It is highly unlikely that VMware publishes an update to a product that has been withdrawn.

  You can roll back to Yosemite to the Mavericks if you wish to continue using the Fusion 5.x or upgrade to a newer version supported.

  If you want to test the latest version to see if it is worth your expenses, you can install and run a fully functional version of 30 days before actually committing to spending anything.

  After 30 days, you purchase a license to modify the merger installed in an unlimited version.

  For the assessment of the merger's direct download link

  In addition, you can also choose to run the Tech Preview, but don't realize that--although normally very stable – there is no guarantees with preview/test software.

  The Tech Preview is here: VMware Fusion Technology Preview 2015 [ARCHIVE]

• VMWare Fusion 7 and still no USB 3 drivers...

  I'm a little disappointed that even after upgrading from 6 to 7 that I get always no VMWare USB 3.0 native support is Windows 7...

  I don't know if they have it works for Windows 8.1 but certainly, it does not work for my main Windows 7 VM.

  The case is really technical over an entire year, it would not be implemented in 7? Help me understand.

  Disappointed...

  P.S. If anyone has found a solution, please you intrigue me.

  kungfuu72 wrote: help me understand.

  This topic has already been covered ad nauseam!

  The bottom line is Windows 7 not delivered with the native USB 3 support for skins, and Microsoft has not provided any service pack or upgrade to Windows 7 to other native USB 3 support.  Therefore, it is a matter of Microsoft not a matter of VMware!    VMware choose that support the native functionality of the OS and Windows 8/8.1 provides the native USB 3 support of skins and as such VMware support USB 3 in Windows 8/8.1.

• VMWARE Fusion 5 and my iMac

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum. Thank you in advance for any help with my problem.

  I bought a new iMac yesterday and installed 5 merger with Windows 7. When I go to 'Computer' on side Windows and check the amount of hard disk space that I said only 59 gb. However, I have a 1 terabyte of hard drive. I intend only using Windows so I would like to have as much free HD as possible. How can I do show more disc space available for me?

  Thanks again!

  Hello Maxschle,

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  While you can as indicated in another response using Bootcamp, bootcamp, of course, mean "restart" and only Windows and restart again if you want to use OS X.

  If you want to enjoy both (OS X and windows) operating systems at the same time, then virtualization is the answer.

  With regard to «the virtual hard disk more» You can do this when you start running out of space in your windows guest OS.

  It is MUCH easier to cultivate your drive as to reduce it, and as such I recommend to not do "as big as possible".

  In order to push the disc in your guest OS, switch it off completely (not to pause/resume /...) by using Shutdown in windows.

  Then, go to the menu merging 'Virtual Machine', 'Settings', 'Hard drive' and increase the size.

  At the start of your guest operating system, the virtual disk will be bigger.

  Hope this helps,

• VMware Fusion 8 and playback of 10.11 El Capitan smart cards

  Hello

  Has anyone got a 10.11 VM read the cards chip under VMWare 8?  I finally got a generation of 10.11b7 running on VMWare 8 with the new script posted on the forums, but when I tried so that he can read maps to chip, it wouldn't work.  Does anyone at - he had a success read a card chip under a virtual machine under VMWare 8 10.11b7?

  If you change the USB 2.0 compatibility, you can see the maps.  If the USB compatibility is set to 3.0, you cannot see the card in the reader.

• resize boot camp partition, formatted and installed windows 7 - now cannot open in vmware fusion

  Here are the steps that I took...

  1 has started with the copy of Windows XP in the boot camp partition. "This is accessible from VMWare Fusion."

  2 resized (from 6 GB to 18 GB) and formatted the boot camp partition.

  3 successfully installed Windows 7 directly in the resized partition boot camp (not through VMWare Fusion).

  4. starts in OSX (latest version), open VMWare Fusion and attempted to access the partition to boot camp/vm. Received an error message charging me to disassemble and reassemble the physical disk changes. However, since I did it, he cannot find a bootable disc, therfore making it the useless bootcamp VM.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

  1. If the merger is open, close it.

  2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

  RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

  Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

  When the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine starts for the first time after this VMware Tools may want or will install/update and restart the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine.

• VMware Fusion 3.0.1 will not partition Boot Camp launch

  Ok. I'm ready to drop Fusion 3.x! That is the problem.

  MacBook Pro (version 3.1), VMware Fusion 3.0.1, Windows 7, Mac OS 10.6.2. I set up a partition Boot Camp 3.0 and installed Windows 7 without any problem. I then installed application VMware Fusion 3.0.1. Started VMW Fusion and tried to start the Boot Camp partition. AHHHHHHHHHH! Following error code appears:

  "Could not open the disk" / Users/xxxxxx / / Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot parition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. "."

  Reason: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk of the virtual machine, and then add it again. »

  I uninstalled VMWF using the uninstall application. So to all the files that I thought may be affiliated. Then reinstalled VMWF 3.0.1. Same error message.

  I have no idea what it is or what it means! Help, please!

  This is not related to the 3.x (for example 2.x will have the same problem). The problem is that the table to partition your drive said he has and the VM wants to use the partition table does not match (maybe because you have migrated from another Mac and have a machine rest of virtual Boot Camp or repartitioned after the Boot Camp virtual machine was created). (UN) Fusion device does not affect the virtual machines, so that won't help.

  Instead, leave the merge and delete the machine virtual Boot Camp /Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp. Then start the merger and allow him to recreate the Boot Camp virtual machine. As your data is on the Boot Camp partition, it is not affected by this.

  Note: This assumes that you have not tampered with the virtual machine Boot Camp to add disks or snapshots or something like that. I don't remember any who never do this, but it is theoretically possible and if you don't you will lose data, so I mention it for completeness.
