ehills Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 I'm trying to figure out how to create an iso of my hard drive so that VMWARE can use it. However I don't know what settings to use. The first thing I run into is that the structure of the HD is too many levels deep. Help Ed
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 You're barking up the wrong tree by the sounds of it. Use a proper hdd imaging tool.
eSkRo Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 you need to install windows inside VMWARE... so u need an iSO of a Windows iNstall Disc.... Not an iSO of your Hard Disk....
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Well technically (I think!) you could also tell vmware to use a pre-existing image (like how you can make it use a physical hdd instead of a file on a hdd)... and that's what this person is trying to do (or so it would seem). Of course the hardware between the host OS and VM would be totally different but I guess Windows would sort itself out eventually. If what you're trying to do is more along the lines of what eskro said, you probably shouldn't be using VMware anyway. I wouldn't say it's typically a tool used by non technical people.
