Hello,
I have VMWare WS 7.1.3, and several VMs, which are 6.5-7.x compatible.
My main VM is using physical disk partitions.
I'm trying to update to WS 9, but then when I try to start my VM, it tells me "can not open snapshot file".
I also tried to run it as Admin, to be sure, but the problem remains the same.
I then tried to create another VM, in WS, to use the physical disk, but in the creation process, when I click on "physical partition", it tries to read the disk, and then displays a message telling "can't access \\PhysicalDisk0, internal error".
Again, I tried with both normal shortcut, and "execute as admin".
The only way I found to make it work is to switch back to WS 7.1.3!!!
Is there a solution to that problem? Can WS 9.0 correctly support physical partitions/disks?
I'm using Windows7 64bits as the host, and the guest is a Linux Fedora18 32bits.
