Hello everyone,
I know this has been asked before, but I have a couple of additional things that I need to clarify. I had a physical installation of Windows 7 on my laptop, which I converted to a vhd file using Disk2vhd. Since that time, I've successfully used it with VMWare Player (the latest version), but want to use it with VMWare Server. When I select it in the Hard Disks for the VM that I'm creating (I don't have the original vmx files anymore), it doesn't work.
Another issue is that I don't have enough space on my drive to convert the file (at least that I know of). Currently the file is at 95GB, but it's been allocated out as a 289GB file (that was the original size of the hard drive). I only have about 98G free on my hard drive.
So, my questions are, how do I import the vhd file into VMWare Server 2.0.2? Will there be any issues with the fact that I had it running under VMWare Player (and have the VMWare Tools installed)? Will I need more space than the 98G that I have available? (I can probably free up some space). If I move it to a location where I have more space (a NFS or in my case, a Windows Home Server Share) can I do the conversion from my laptop (the computer without enough space currently)?
I don't have any .vpc files or anything else, just the vhd file. Will that create any issues?
Thanks, and have a great day:)
Patrick.
