I finally got around to using VMWareConverter to easily & successfully
copy over an old WinXP drive to a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04. I must
admit, the only problem that I had was that VMWareConverter did the copy
at 1.6MBps across a 10Mbps wire. Conversion went well, fired up
VMWarePlayer and the machine easily came on.

Now, before I added VMWareTools to the machine I fired up VB 3.2.8 and
tried to use the VDMK from the VMWare folder. The machine came on & gave
me the WinXP startup, but never made it to the login screen; instead all
I get is a black screen following the startup screen. Any advise on what
I am doing wrong?
