Hi All! I've got weird problem while installing Windows 2000/XP system on VMware-workstation. I believe VMware is installed properly - I've installed it from rpm package. Then, vmware-config.pl also runs and exits without problems ending configuration with "Enjoy!". I've created a virtual machine. Then, I've powered virtual machine on with W2K cdrom in drive. Windows installation starts, it probes for hardware and then, just after starting formatting my virtual partition with selected filesystem everything gets crazy. Computer doesn't hang, but it stoppes responding - it looks like being hardly overloaded or something. HDD LED blinks so I believe that something is being performed. At first I thought that my hardware is not enough robust, so i left my computer while "cooking" windows partition for... 2 DAYS! But after these 2 days LEDs were still blinking and my computer was not responding at all... Could You give me some hint on some solution? What could I mess up? Why windows "hangs" while trying to make FAT/NTFS partition? Your help will be appreciated :-) Thanks in advance! My software: VMwareWorkstation-4.5.1-7568 kernel-2.6.5-1.358 Fedora Core 2 My hardware: Duron 1000 Abit KT7a 256 DDR Seagate Barracuda IV 40GB -- .~.
