hello,

i'm trying to install vmware on my freebsd 4.4. i already have winME and =
freebsd 4.4 on my HD the reason i wanna install the vmware is to run win =
apps on freebsd. many told me try vmware but i can't get it to work. =20

when i get to the "Disk Type Setting" it gives me 2 options which are:
* New Virtual disk
* Existing physical disk

'cause i already have win2k install i try to choose  "Existing physical d=
isk" but it doesn't allow me it says:

Either you do not have access to the ide drives on this system or no ide =
drives were detected. You will only be able to configure virtual disk on =
the host file.

And I get a list that says:

/dev/hda - not present
/dev/hdb - not present
*
*
*
*

hope someone can help me, thanks guys.

by the way, i don't think you can get any trail license anymore for vmwar=
e 2.0 ... so i dunno what to do. 'cause i don't wanna buy the thing and e=
nd up not being able to use it. Get more from the Web.  FREE MSN Explorer=
