I'm not clear on what you're trying to do. It looks like you're trying to use a previously installed Win98 in what vmware calls raw mode. They caution against this in the docs, with weasel words like for experts only, which suggests to me that it doesn't work yet. I've had good luck with a bog-standard installation of Win2K inside of MDK 9.2, just accepting all the vmware 4.04 defaults. Your /home/whatever has to be large enough to contain the whole Windows installation. -- N. B. Day Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] VMWare problems! Please Help!
Which OS is your host and which is your guest. Which version of VMW are you running? Which version of MDK are you running? How are you partitioning? I installed VMWare 4.02 4.05 onto a mdk 9.2 host in order to run W2K w/ no problems.
