    I'm sorry but OS X won't work on vmware as it''s based on PowerPC, a completely different architechture to what vmware emulates (x86 - although I suppose it's possible it'll be able to in the future,...

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    Have you installed the VMWare tools mentioned in previous posts? These should work with Windows 98 (theres a win9x folder for the graphics drivers, and its one of VMWare's supported OS's), and at...

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    You should be able to install straight from the windows 98 CD, although I haven't tried it myself. The floppys aren't really required unless you have a bad CD image.

    There is actually an (experimental) option for this - see http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_vidsound_d3d.html. However its still marked as experimental, and I'm not sure how it'd work with the...

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    I believe it's possible with VMWare Workstation, but I think its a bit complex and I'm not sure if it works with Player. Try the following:


    vmplayer Windows2000Pro.vmx
    As soon as it starts...

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    You shouldn't have to reinstall it... - did you change the boot order in the virtual bios? If so change it back, or use escape on each boot and select the hard disk.

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    You didn't perform the cd / command at the beginning, therefore it would have extracted the files to the directory you were in at the time. The reason it wouldn't work when you extracted it into your...

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    OK, step by step. I'll assume you're making a windows 2000 disk, if not replace all Windows2000Pro references with WindowsXPPro, and the guestOS parameter in the .vmx file to winxppro. Ill also...

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    The new folder was to contain all the .vmx, .vmdx and other files vmware creates. This can be made and named anything you want, eg /home/username/win2000 or similar. You then put all the files you...

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    You MUST install the linux-headers-386 package to compile the kernel module - this will create the /usr/src/linux/include directory for you, and put all the files you need in it.

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player

    You need to install everything from the initial instructions - linux-headers will provide /usr/src/linux/include, and once you install gcc 3.4.5 (alongside 4.0.2 - they can coexist) and type the...

    Re: HOWTO: Install Windows XP/2000 in VMWare Player
