• Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

  Hello

  I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

  When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

  The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

  It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

  I use folder2iso

  To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?

• Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

  I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

  According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

  Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

• Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

  It shows:

  This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  VMware Workstation 12.1

  Hello

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

  Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

  See also:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

  You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

• Virtual machine does not start

  Hello, I had a VM VirtualBox but VB don't sharing not the graphics so I was told to use the workstation.

• Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

  I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

  Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

  I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

  Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

  TIA!

  Katie

  To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

  Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

  Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

  The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

• Virtual machine does not start after completing a physical machine coversion

  I used VMWare Converter 5.5.3 to create a virtual machine from an existing, Windows Pro 8.1 laptop from work.  The conversion process has indicated no error.  When I try to start the virtual machine on a different host, however, he died almost immediately.  I'm using VMWare Workstation 9.0.4, my host OS is Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and the guest operating system is Windows Pro 8.1 (64-bit).

  When it comes on, I see 'VMware' logo instead of loading and after a few seconds, the computer virtual turns off with no visible error message.  I tried to run the virtual machine on multiple machines, and both have the same results.  Host machines running all other virtual machines I tried without problem.

  I tried to change some of the parameters of the virtual machine via the GUI, but nothing seems to affect behavior.  I ran the other VMs Pro 8.1 of Windows on this computer before host, it's just this particular virtual machine.

  I attached the zip file management tool of data collection to support, as well as the vmware.log file.

  Can someone point me in the right direction of a cause or a resolution to this problem?  Thank you in advance.

  I was able to do some additional research after I posted and found the relevant error in the log:

  PCIXHCI: Cannot save the PCIe xHCI hardware

  I found this vmware KB article that describes the problem:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2041591

  Once I set the VM to use USB 2.0 (instead of 3.0), it starts as expected.

• With instant full VM LUN and now the virtual machine will not start or register

  Hello

  I have a case here, where we have a virtual machine that quickly filled the logic unit number and the snapshot is currently 110 GB. It is now available on the new LUN space, but the VM does not start and he was also addressed as 'unknown' in the viclient. I tried to cancel the registration and check-in again, but he refuses to register. It seems that the snapshot is damaged.

  When you try to save it, I get the following in hostd.log:

  VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 build-130756

  Any help is appreciated.

  Lars

  The problem (according to the newspaper) is AXAPTA_1-000001 - delta.vmdk no AXAPTA_1-000002 - delta.vmdk (the error on the second snapshot is probably because of the broken parent snapshot).

  The descriptors are ok, which means that the VMDK itself is broken.

  If you do not have a backup, you can try the following:

  -Copy the files in another data store

  -change the second snapshot descriptor to point to the basedisk as the parent

  -Try and mount the drive

  -If you're lucky, you should be able to recover at least some data of

  -If the disklib is complaining again then the two snapshots are broken - which is unlikely

  Depending on how old the second snapshot (the older one is better it is) the method above will not help.

• ESXi host goes to the State and the virtual machine does not restart on other host does not

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a solution, in which case the host goes to the State and the virtual machine on it does not restart on a different host (they'll just gray) does not not what could be the problem here and how to fix it

  later when the failed host returns upward machines either go to motor off the coast of the State, or they show that under tension

• Windows server 2008, converted to a Dynamic Volume does not start

  Hello

  I'm running the v5.1 free eSXI hypervisor. In order to increase the size of my boot partition I changed it to a dynamic volume. When I rebooted the machine would not start "no boot device." I installed it with the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I started a Windows Server installation CD to try to 'fix' the server, but even with drivers manually Paravirtual he does not see the windows operating system. Can I start from scratch or y at - it a hope?

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions in advance.

  OK I solved this. Here are the steps I took in case someone has this problem:

  I exported the VMachine to a model of the FVO on my local PC. I used 'WinImage' to convert this VHD image that I could ride in VirtualBox (only because I am familiar with it). I hit F12 in VirtualBox (after the installation of a Windows Server CD in the machine) who started Windows Server on the CD and allowed me to run the recovery command prompt. I guess conversion scratched somehow 'dynamic' volumes, because they might be considered now. I ran:

  Bootrec /fixmbr

  Bootrec /fixboot

  Bootrec /rebuildbcd and brought back the operating system in the boot list

  > restart

  For windows first time tried to start, but I'm a BSOD so I thought it was just a mistake of the storage controller. I used WinImage to convert a vmdk which I was able to boot into VMware Workstation by modifying to 'IDE '.

  Successful start!... and then just "transferred" to the ESXi Hypervisor of VMworkstation after the have attached to the host server.

• Virtual machines does not start - no error, no tab opens

  Hi all, I have problems with VM Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7 64-bit.

  My VMs have worked in the past.  Now, for some reason when I try to open a virtual machine, that nothing is happening.   No error, no tab opens.  only thing I noticed, is that a .lck file is created in the folder of the virtual machine.

  So basically I have open VM Workstation, go to file-> open (or simply click the icon open Existin VM) and try to open any of my VMs 5 1 and nothing happens.

  I tried to uninstall, reinstall, repair several times and nothing has worked yet.

  any ideas?

  Thanks in advance

  likely reasons:

  misconfigured firewall Antivirus or desktop

  Please also check if a process named webcam.exe or fixcamera.exe is in course of execution - if yes - disable

  on the update... IMHO, there is no reason pressing up-to-date 7.1 - 6.5.4 is good enough

• Virtual machine does not start and...

  Dear vmware forums community,

  I have a problem, I use VMware Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

  However, I have some problems using it.

  First of all, VMware does not allow me to start one of my Virtual Machines, when I click on 'Open' Options tab still does not open.

  Secondly, I can't install Virtual Machines since yesterday. These two problems came today when I turned on my host PC.

  I tried to do the two things by using VMplayer, it does the same thing as VMware Workstation.

  I also tried to uninstall VMware and install again and also I tried to delete the .lck files and it does not work.

  Yesterday, when it was all working well, I turned off the virtual machines by the following method, ' turn off this machine "or something like that (I clicked on the cross in the name of the machine)

  I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

  In this case - even if you have already uninstalled/installed VMware Workstation - I would recommend that do you it again. This time, clean install and reboot the system before you re-install. How to clean and a script, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1308

• Register the virtual machine does not properly

  I run the following script, but it does not work as expected.

  $ESXHost = 'test - 01.Test.com '.

  $ResourcePool = get-VMHost $ESXHost | Get-ResourcePool | Get-View
  $vmFolder = get-View (Get-data center-name $Datacenter |) Get - Folder - name "vm") user.user
  $vmFolder.RegisterVM_Task ("[TIER2_VMSHARED_LASCX02_LUN2017]" + $VMName + "/" + $VMName + ".vmx", $VMName, $false, $ResourcePool.MoRef, $null ")

  When the script is run, it saves the VM on Test-04?  Any suggestions?

  E4F

  The last parameter to RegisterVM_Task is the host where you want the guest to save.

  You pass $null, so DRS will decide for you.

  If you want a specific host, you can do

  $ESXHost = "Test-01.Test.com"
  $esx = Get-VMHost -Name $ESXHost $ResourcePool = $esx | Get-ResourcePool | Get-View $vmFolder = Get-View (Get-Datacenter -Name $Datacenter | Get-Folder -Name "vm").id
  $vmFolder.RegisterVM_Task("[TIER2_VMSHARED_LASCX02_LUN2017] " +  $VMName + "/" + $VMName + ".vmx", $VMName, $false, $ResourcePool.MoRef, $esx.Extensiondata.MoRef)

• 11.1 workstation, Windows 7 SP1 x 64, EFI, the CD-ROM does not start

  Is Windows 7 x 64 supported as an EFI guest OS in my computer with hardware 11.1 virtual v11?

  I recently upgraded from Workstation v9 to v11.1.0 build-2496824 under my Windows 7 SP1 x 64 machine and tried to create a new guest Windows 7 support EFI and the installation media does not start to get the Setup will.

  The same boot on any BIOS type invited media and I tried Windows 7 and Windows 7 with SP1 integrated all directly from Microsoft, not custom ISOs and none of them will work under EFI, but will work under BIOS.  In the same way 2008 and 2008 R2 media starts if EFI is used.

  EFI VMs can boot media of Windows 8 and successfully towards the top (2012 etc.) but not the previous generation of operating system.

  I tried a few different things, such as starting the ISO from a disk share and local network.

  I tried all 3 variants of the dvd/cdrom: SATA, SCSI, IDE, including the legacy mode which I don't think that is really work because it is not verified when I go back to change the setting.

  I tried to install from the EFI shell initialization, but the media are not yet mounted under blk0 so I can't go any further.

  My boot device options are all configured properly and tried to force the virtual cdrom boot at startup without success.

  I also tried going through the physical CD-ROM mapping rather than the ISO file and not luck.

  My Setup seems to be supported, however the matrix of interoperability and compatibility points vs EFI BIOS support.  I know that Windows 7 supports UEFI then it should work and I've seen posts where people have deployed it successfully under different versions of workstation using the EFI emulation.

  I also tried with hardware virtual v10

  Both typical and custom installation modes recognize media but can't can at start up.

  Should I do the start method USB with a sort of generation of personalized media?

  Here is an excerpt from the log file where it seems just that it's not picking up on startup even though we clearly see the ISO it:

  I just want to know if it is actually supported and if someone else has this problem there.

  It was about 3.5 GB but I just downloaded a new copy on the site MS VL and apparently boot into EFI now.  Don't know how the ISO precedent (and other ISOs 2008) would work under BIOS but not EFI but it's good enough for me.

  Thanks to confirm support of the scenario mentioned however, I had thoughts seconds on this subject.
