slightly off topic, but, after using vmwre since the #2 series, finally switched to virtualbox. everything works better and i can even use my vmware virtual machines in vbox:)
Interesting. How did you get the VMs from VMware to vbox? I am not married to VMplayer.
First remove the vmtools from the VM. Add the VM to Vbox using Virtual Media Manager. Create a new VM in Vbox and use the disk you setup in VMM. Start the VM and after you log in to the VM install the VboxTools.
I tried this, but the guest does not boot. For some reason, the VMWare disk was set up to be a number of 2 GB files: -rw------- 1 roger users 2137260032 2010-08-30 10:08 Ramböll XP Professional-s001.vmdk -rw------- 1 roger users 2146762752 2010-08-30 10:08 Ramböll XP Professional-s002.vmdk -rw------- 1 roger users 2143617024 2010-08-30 10:08 Ramböll XP Professional-s003.vmdk -rw------- 1 roger users 2146762752 2010-08-30 10:08 Ramböll XP Professional-s004.vmdk -rw------- 1 roger users 1572864 2010-08-30 10:08 Ramböll XP Professional-s005.vmdk -rw------- 1 roger users 974 2010-08-30 10:04 Ramböll XP Professional.vmdk In VirtualBox, I selected the file "Ramböll XP Professional.vmdk". It seemed to be read okay. VB said it was an 8 GB partition, which it is. But when VB starts I get a window, but no boot.
