Title: Installation issue on VMWare
Post by: sudheerah on January 20, 2009, 10:50:29 AM

I installed VMWare server 1.0.4 in my laptop (Vista Home Basic) and try to install Ubuntu desktop 8.04 on VMWare. I mapped the ubuntu installation file to the CD-ROM of the VMWare. But halfway through in the installation wizard, there was a one step stating that "allocation of disk space". But there, it won't show anything to do the allocation.
Although in the VMWare installation I allocated 15 GB for the server.

Can anybody figure out the issue.


Thank you! in Advance.

Vmware allow you to set Virtual OS hardware type. In that it also allow to change HD type. Try to find it and change it. I do not have VMware access as of now so not sure exactly where to find it.
