b0 error - VMWare Vitual Drive

[WRX1KNP]

Hi all

 

I know this has been asked plenty times before and I know the answer if you are running VMWare with a NATIVE Drive.

 

But I have created a VMWare VIRTUAL 6Gig Drive to test. All installs OK, but won't boot under VMWare (the famous b0 error).

 

Is there any way to fix this?

 

Or do I have to go and buy a second HDD and hang it on my second ID Channel? I have no space left on my primary drive to re-partition. What about it (the second drive!) not being the Primary Drive?

 

Have D/Loaded HirenS tools just in case.

 

I have tried searching but all posts relate to VMWare / Native Installs.

 

All help appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

The quickest way is to boot vm image is with a windows 98 boot disk,

 

Then when your at the dos prompt type:

 

fdisk, Y, Y,

 

you will need to set the disk active, so option 2, then select primary disk (1)......

 

then esc.ecs,ecs, back to dos prompt,,,,, reboot

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for the replies, I have been too busy with other stuff (World Cup Semi Finals! ) the last two night to really try and get it working ...

 

Have D/Loaded Hiren'S Tools, I have Win 98SE and will put some effort into this tonight.
