Thanks. That is clear, even without a basic knowledge of Spanish. > In this case should be a different geometry? This is exactly the expected symptom of a geometry problem. The question now is - what is the geometry used by VMware. What kind of VMDK file did you create? Because some variants have an external textual image description (in others that's embedded in the header). If you have a .vmdk file which is just a few hundred bytes, then this contains at least some information I need. Please send it to me as an attachment. If your .vmdk file is bigger, try loading it into a text editor that doesn't freak out on binary data (wordpad is quite reasonable, as many editors on Linux). All I need is that patch of readable text starting with "# Disk DescriptorFile". Delete everything before and after the readable text. I don't need the binary stuff. However this might not be enough. The trouble is that I don't have a good idea how to find out what precise geometry is in use by the windows guest. Windows doesn't show such information anywhere AFAIK (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The only way to get the information I need I know is booting some linux live CD such as Knoppix in that VM (with the hard disk still attached) - in VMware server. I need the output of the commands "hdparm -i /dev/hda" and "fdisk -l /dev/hda". Again, the output is only useful if this is done with VMware server. > is there a solution? Certainly, but it doesn't exist right now. Need to find out what we do slightly different than VMware. -- Dr. Klaus Espenlaub innotek GmbH, http://www.innotek.de _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
