Hello all,
I have loaded VMWare
from the ports collection and now trying to
import a Windows XP virtual
machine from another system. I am
having a couple of issues though. <= /p>
1.
The system has 512M RAM on the system, yet VMWare only "sees"
16M= in
the Preferences section. Is there a hack or something I can
do to
adjust this memory ceiling?
2. When trying to fire up the virtual
WinXP, VMWare says that it
cannot read the parent partition from the
file. I have adjusted
permissions on all of the files in the WinXP
directory, to no
avail. Any ideas why this is happening, or how to fix
/ workaround?
Anyone who has VMWare from the ports installed an= d
working,
please help. Anyone with answers is more than welcome to share
them.
Thanks in advance,
Ron
