vmware server beta3 on mandriva 2006_64, Athlon64 3800, win2000 guest
Problem: A brand new install works fine and win2000 finds a USB hard drive without problem; get popup windows about installing drivers, don't need to mount via the VM menu option, can access the contents.
\_Every_ other attempt, with the same or different USB hard drive fails. Nothing spontaneously happens, if use menu VM -> Removable -> the hard drive whose name is in the list, get popup warning:
"The existing driver (usb-storage) could not be successfully disconnected (Operation not permitted). Unload the driver manually, then try again"
Not fixed by rebooting vmware or the computer. Can't seem to find said usb-storage driver to delete. Looks like a bug?
Any ideas would be welcome
