ntg7v3 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Running OS 10.4.6 in VMware and I get first grey screen with the Apple logo, but the I get the message: "Your virtual machine has sent an ATAPI (CD-ROM) command that is supported only when programming the drive via DMA. You will need to configure your guest operating system to use DMA when communicating with DVD/CD-ROM devices. Note that some operating systems will report DMA is available without actually using it. In those cases, normal CD-ROM operations will still be available, but special features will only be available if you reconfigure the virtual device as a SCSI device." Please help!!! Thanks.

Float Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I received this error message once too, upon initial install. I hit okay and then proceeded to install successfully. One cd-rom related mishap that I soon after recognized was this: I opened VMWare, created my guest system, opened up daemon tools, mounted my image, attempted to install from the virtual cd-rom. The problem is that I left the cd-rom on Auto-Detect. Looking in the drop down I saw that my virtual cd-rom drive was not listed. This was because I mounted after VMWare had already enumerated the drive list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
