• Problem with VMWare Workstation combo, .vhd virtual drives and physical disks in the sector of size 4K?

  All,

  I suspect something wrong with some of my virtual machines.  I have been using these virtual machines for a while, and I see some weird behaviour recently.

  I see a lot of corruption in the virtual hard disk (.vhd based).  CHKDSK automatically gets performed many large files such as Oracle datafiles get damaged etc...  It all seems quite random and inconsistent, but I am using .vhd virtual machines in VMWare Workstation for years without problem.  This problem is new, and hard drives are basically unstable.

  I * think * (and I'm totally off base) that is perhaps the issue with my new external hard drives.  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.  Thanks to this architecture of hard drive, don't mount not the tools of Microsoft or manupulate .vhd files on these disks.  The questions seem to go away if I switch to vmdk or switch to the physical hard disk size-one-sector 512kb.  Because errors are not compliant, that I don't really have a way to document/prove that is the case, but it seems to be.

  I use version 9.0.0 on Windows 7 Workstation, and the guest is Windows Server 2008R2.

  My question is:

  (1) what meaning?

  (2) how I prove/document, since it is a contradiction?

  (3) is this a known problem?

  (Btw, switching HDD's vmdk is not an option in our case due to an obscure legal agreement with Microsoft.  I have to distribute my VMs in vhd format, even if they are designed to run on VMWare...)

  -> Adam

  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.

  (I've highlighted "without e512" in "BOLD" to key in my answer to the host operating system.)

  -L'OS is Windows 7 Enterprise

  According to the political support for the 4 K sector hard drives in Windows, Windows 7 does not support the native 4 K (logical 4 k sector size) but it does not support Advanced Format or 512th (size of logical sector physical and 512 bytes of 4 K) and that is can be the question.

• Problems with VMware Workstation upgrade version 6.0 and 6.5

• Problem installing VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012

  Hello

  I have problems when trying to install VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012. Windows Server is Amazon EC2 environment and a generic image extended release.

  The problem is that the installtion process fails because of "Hyper-V" during installation, but after investigating the option "Remove roles and features" I can see that it is not installed.

  Is there any fixes for this issue?

  I enclose three screenshots for you pleasure.

  Regards, Ray...

  Hello Ray,

  Welcome to the VMware community forums.

  You run an EC2 instance that has just 615 MB memory installed?

  It's kind of a weird for a host, much too low for Amazon memory configuration, even be profitable.

  I think that your server is running UNDER Hyper-V, for example. It is probably a Virtual Machine.

  You can easily check that yourself by running the script from this site:

  How Hyper-V to: detect if you are inside a virtual machine

  If it's a Hyper-V virtual computer then I don't think you can install VMware Workstation on the virtual machine and run the nested clients.

  You could do the opposite (invited running hyper-V in a workstation virtualized on vSphere) but is not very fast.

  As you have no control over which platform virtualization Amazon use for their windows servers, I'm afraid you will have to go for a dedicated server instead of a virtual machine.

  Hope this helps,

• Is it possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine?

  Hello

  I was wondering if it is possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine? In the affirmative, please could someone advise me on how to do it. Also utility management and disk transfer can be used in virtual machines to do this?

  Thank you very much

  Tim Auluck

  I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Can you please clarify!

  Basically you can resize a virtual drive or add a second virtual disk to a virtual machine and transfer/copy files. You can also resize the virtual disk using VMware Converter for example.

• VMware Workstation 7.1.3 Installer empty in Windows 7 x 64

  Hello

  I am trying to install a new copy of VMware Workstation 7.1.3 in my PC (WIndows 7 x 64), and I have a white screen instead of the installation steps, please see the image below:

  

  Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you.

  Hi all

  I had a lot of pain with this and spent all day trying to reset the internet settings, java update and finally found the solution has been associated with an adobe update that fills the internet zone settings in the registry and prevents the display of the Setup window is displayed according to the original screenshot stuck by hiperjp.

  Here is the solution

  Export the key below before deleting. Do a right click and export.

  You must remove 1 (parasite) of additional area

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\¬]

  Basically it has a Pseudo-graphique number, you will see before the zone number 0.

  It seems that it is a bug in update of Adobe flash player, but I'm not sure.

  This additional area prevents the desktop gadgets to figure out properly and also prevented an other Java windows look in other products Secunia 2 being one of them.

  Thank heavens, it drove me crazy!

• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

• How to solve the problem of VMWare Workstation 8 - unable to open/dev/vmmon

  Initially, I had this problem in March 2011 after installing VMWare Workstation 7 on a lab machine 5.7 RHEL and attempt to boot an image I know was good and should work. .  Someone else fixed the problem for me - I think they had to install a new/different libraries (vmmon.o and vmnet.o for vmware).  However, I find no information detailing what has been done to solve the problem.

  I see the same error on the same machine after upgrading to VMWare Workstation 7.0 for VMWare Workstation 8.0.

  1 here are the mistakes I see:

  a. "Could not open/dev/vmmon.

  b. "failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.
  c. "cannot change the power state of VM: cannot find a valid peers to connect to.

  Also, when I run the stop etc/init.d/vmware, then run /etc/init.d/vmware start, I see that the State of "Virtual Machine Monitor" is DOWN.

  
  2 here is the information on VMWare Workstation:

  VMWare Workstation 8.0.1 build 528992

  3 here is the RHEL uname - information for the host:

  2.6.18 - 274.7.1.el5xen Linux #1 SMP xxx.xxx.xxx kills Oct 17 12:06:22 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  Release of RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.7 (Tikanga)

  The problem could be that the version of vmmon.o and vmnet.o that comes by default with vmware does not work with linux kernel version I have on my system.  I think I need to build a new vmmon.o and vmnet.o on my particular 5.7 RHEL.

  I found that to build a new version of vmmon.o you Executive vmware - config.pl.  I have not just on my machine, and I was not able to find on the internet.

  Here is the version of vmmon.o (for RHEL 5) that I have installed on my machine:
  /usr/lib/VMware/modules/binary/BLD-2.6.18-8.EL5-x86_64smp-RHEL5/objects/vmmon.o

  Here is the version of rhel5 I use:
  2.6.18 - 274.12.1.el5xen
  It is possible that the vmmon.o using bld - 2.6.18 - 8.el5 - x86_64smp-RHEL5 is not compatible with the kernel 2.6.18 - I 274.12.1.el5xen.

  Please help me find vmware - config.pl so I can build my own vmmon.o and vmnet.o

  do not use a kernel XEN enabled when you install Workstation

• Mouse USB and keyboard problems in VMWare Workstation / Ubuntu 8.10

  I am running VMWare Workstation for Linux version 6.5.0 build 118166

  My host is Ubuntu 8.10 / 2.6.27 - 7-generic and I am hosting another instance of the same operating system on the same machine.

  The problem I see is that the keyboard and mouse misbehave / erratic from the host machine. It is a multimedia keyboard 1.1 Microsoft wireless

  There are essentially two problems:

  (1) dedicated cursor keys / pageup / to / home / delete do not work properly. For example, PageUp wants to take a screenshot.

  (2) the mouse seems slow to recognize clicks / trolling. For example, if I click on a tab in Firefox and move immediately, the tab starts to drag. Even if I click on an image and then move the mouse - drag is initiated.

  I tried several combinations of keyboard layout in the case of Ubuntu comments does not. No problems of this nature in the host, or an instance of XP comments.

  Any suggestions?

• VMWare Workstation - movement of virtual machines

  I created a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 on an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU PC processor. My intention is to put this VM on a USB hard drive and then use it on the other 2 work stations, which are all two Core 2 Duo CPU.  All 3 hosts are running 64-bit Vista Ultimate. The guest for this virtual machine operating system is also 64-bit Vista Ultimate.

  I copied the files on the computer, virtual on a USB drive and then plugged into one of my workstations. I selected the file & gt; Open and open the virtual machine. Everything seemed good, so I turned on the virtual machine. When I did, I got an error screen that says:

  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. »

  "Leadership: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe.

  «Info: attempt to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.»

  I mounted my Vista install DVD iso and started for her, but even the installer wouldn't start. The error seems to make no sense as the Core2 Duo is a 64-bit processor and the host is running a 64-bit operating system. The only thing I can think is that the virtual machine was originally created on an Intel Core 2 Quad processor, and that causes a problem when trying to open with a Core 2 Duo.

  Any suggestions?

  Check the BIOS of the machine with problems - perhaps VT extensions are not enabled.

  If you do a switch do a boot cold - unplug power for 10 seconds the change

• Any Installation of Vmware Workstation failed in my machine, why? See the details

  

  Hey guys, I'm trying to install vmware workstation 11,10 even though 9, but unfortunately it shows this kind of error every time.

  then I try to install from appdata/local/temp, but it shows the error of capture4... I tried many things to fix this... but I failed...

  So guys help me please install... sorely lacking...

  is my laptop config: core i5 - 3230M, ram - 4 GB os-win7 64 bit sp1...

  need help please...

  Welcome to the community,

  the problem is probably caused by the apostrophe in the name of the folder of the user. Try at each logon with a different user (temporary) account, or change the temp/tmp environment variable to point to a different directory (existing), for example, "C:\TEMP".

• Poor performance in VMWare Workstation 10 comments VM, score on memory Windows experience index is low

  Specification of the host is A10-5800 AMD CPU & 8 GB DDR3 - 1600 RAM(dual-channel), running VMware workstation 10 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1. WEI (Windows experience index) score on memory is 7.3.

  Comments is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit SP1. VMware tool has been installed. The WEI score on memory is only 4.5. I can feel the difference when you work in the guest, because of the bad performance RAM problem.

  Some way to optimize the performance of comments?

  Can I assume that the customer has more than 960 MB and less than 1.5 GB of memory?  The more possible memory under-score with less than 1.5 GB memory is 4.5.
