VMware Fusion/Bootcamp does not properly.

I'm under VMware Fusion 2.07 (Yes, I know version 3 came out, but money was tight) on an iMac 20 ". Mac OS X 10.6.4. I recently had the hard drive in this system upgrade, 300 GB to 1.5 TB; new installation of Mac OS X, all restored since my Time Machine backup, then installed Windows XP Home Edition, using boot camp. (300 GB partition.) So far, so good; It works well.

When I say VMware to start the Bootcamp partition as a virtual machine, it goes through the usual process, then comes up with the dreaded error message: "the Boot Camp partition is not prepared to stand as a virtual machine. It seems that Windows is not stopped properly the last time it was used. »

I tried to remove my configuration of VMware; I checked the partition tables and the types (the MBR and GUID alignment between them - as I told Windows to reformat the partition, rather than change the partitioning, it is what I expected); everything seems to be correct. I noted, however, that vmware-rawdiskCreator and fdisk print the size of the partition HFS + sub-1994391552, which seems to be strangely close (ie: bang on) an integer signed enveloping output in comparison with the tool GUID of. In exactly the same way, the beginning of the Windows partition is printed as 1993717760.

Is it possible that this affects the failure, or is it just a loophole? I'm getting a little testy (although not significant at this stage, since I can afford now space drive needed to have a separate Windows for VMware image instead of joining the two together). I have attached the vmware.log in the hope that it might be useful.

Your muchly.

If the chkdsk command and Windows clean restart does not help, the only alternative is to force the partition to mount using the virtual machine. However, this should only serve as a last resort, since it can potentially corrupt data on the Windows file system. Make sure you have a backup of important data on the Boot Camp partition.

To force the partition to mount, you will need to replace one of the files of the virtual machine for assistance. Go to Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Resources/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/ (use right click and view the contents of the package to get inside VMware Fusion.app and Ban - 1.0.vmwarevm). Then delete (or move to a backup) the reconfig.iso of the file and replace it with the version attached to my message.

Note: this file is designed to work only with Fusion 2.0.7. Use it with newer versions will probably fail.

This should allow the reconfiguration step to cross, and Windows can perform a check disk on first boot. If it isn't, it's probably a good idea to run chkdsk /f just in case.

  • VMWare Data Recovery does not properly

    Hello

    I use VMWare (VDR 2.0 - with Vsphere 5) data recovery tool. I'm tempted to save a virtual machine and the VDR said the backup was successful. But I can't restore the virtual computer. When I checked the log, I found that the vmdk is not saved.

    I use the default backup device provided with the VDR. (Cent OS 5.5). I backup virtual machines on a NFS mounted in this machine (VDR) centos.

    Can someone help me understand the problem? any help would be appreciated.

    Newspapers say it all: "26/07/2012 10:23:19: independent labels 'vm-153." "" [datastore1] vm1/vm1.vmdk "unsaved."

    This VMDK is configured as independent VMDK, independently discs are "made not snapshot ' type of drives and because of this VDR will not back up these disks.

    First of all you need to know why this drive is configured as apolitical, apolitical fashion isn't really necessary then stop VM and remove "Apolitical" mode option of this hard drive in the hardware configuration of the VM.

  • Toshiba 47L7453DG - CEC does not properly using exernal amplifier

    I bought Toshiba 47L 7453 a few days ago.

    It is connected to the amplifier Onkyo TX-NR535 but CEC does not properly. Volume control works fine but On / Off or stanby does not at all.

    My previous TV Toshiba 42XV635DG was communicated by the CEC with the Onkyo even without any problem.

    The wire connection is HDMI 1.4 certified.
    Maybe the problem is with the firmware of the TV.

    Maybe someone had the same problem.

    Any suggestion?

    Thank you

    Hello

    From my point of few TV and amplifier are connected some CEC (Volume control) functions that work. I think you should check the auto power settings and HDMI CEC standby control system.

    Manual, you will find some important notes:
