trying to run windowz .iso file on fedora 9 using vmware server console
hi all.........
I have installed vmware server on my fedora 9....i have downloaded .iso images of ubuntu and other linux distros .iso files and created vm's of those .iso files they work really fine no probelm...But when i try to do the same using .iso files of windows that i have downloaded from microsoft.com
will not work
iso files that i have tried are
1. xpsp3_5512.080413-2113_usa_x86fre_spcd.iso
2. w2k3sp2_3959_usa_x64fre_spcd.iso
it will give error as
Network boot from amd AM79C970A
PXE-E53 : no boot fiename received
PXE-MOF: existing intel PXE Rom
I have changed the order of boot in Bios settings but the error is same..I am searching for this in net from past 2 days ..many have these problems i have tried all options but not able to get rid of this error..
This is really hard to digest these things work well with linux iso not with windows iso...
This is my .vmx file:
#!/usr/bin/vmware
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "4"
scsi0.present = "TRUE"
memsize = "1376"
ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.fileName = "Windows XP Home Edition.vmdk"
ide0:0.writeThrough = "TRUE"
ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
ide1:0.fileName = "/soft/xpsp3_5512.080413-2113_usa_x86fre_spcd.iso"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE"
floppy0.fileName = "/dev/fd0"
Ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
displayName = "Windows XP Home Edition"
guestOS = "winxphome"
priority.grabbed = "normal"
priority.ungrabbed = "normal"
powerType.powerOff = "hard"
powerType.powerOn = "hard"
powerType.suspend = "hard"
powerType.reset = "hard"
ide0:0.redo = ""
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
uuid.location = "56 4d da 87 6f 64 d1 58-d1 a7 30 46 84 ca bd 0c"
uuid.bios = "56 4d da 87 6f 64 d1 58-d1 a7 30 46 84 ca bd 0c"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:ca:bd:0c"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
I really appreciate any help..............
