I recently moved my Virtual Machines from Fedora Core 5 to Windows XP 64 bit. Other than locking up after starting HAL, everything went smoothly. (HAL lockup was resolved by switching the client (FC 5) to DHCP)
I understand that XP 64 bit is not server and therefore not supported. However, I have seen several postings indicating that it seems to work. If possible I would like to get this configuration working.
When I create a new Virtual Machine and add a hard disk I get the error:
VMware Server
Failed to retrieve disk information for
"C:\Virtual Machines\....vmdk":
VMDB failure.
Everything "seems" to run okay in the virtual machine. What is causing the error and do I need to be concerned about it?
The host machine runs XP 64bit on an Athlon FX-57 with 4 Gigs RAM; the hard drive is a Maxtor 6L250R0 ATA/133 with DMA enabled.
Thanks
