Dirk,

I've never really understood why VMware insisted on this "stack of poker
chips" approach to disk allocation. I wasn't aware of the
vmware-vdiskmanager utility: simple & straightforward.

If this is true I'm in serious trouble. I cannot connect to the VMware
consoles for these machines (some sort of key snafu), so I'm unable to
uninstall VMware Tools or do anything else inside a running Windows VM.

Any thoughts on how to overcome my console access problem? I'm unable to
connect via :8333.
