jdl6884 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I have been working for days trying to get VM Workstation 14 on windows 10 to run my hackintosh ssd drive... No matter what I try I get a VMWare error when trying to run the VM.... "Error while powering on: Insufficient permissions." I have tried adjusting permissions, changing VM location, mounting/unmounting, tweaking settings, and running as administrator.... all without any luck. I have a running macOS 14.0 Mojave on a Samsung 970EVO NVMe SSD along with a separate 970EVO running Windows 10. I am using unlocker 2.1.1, VMWare workstation 14, APFS for windows, and Paragon HFS+ for windows. The macOS partition is on a separate NVME ssd than the windows one. I was curious to see if anyone had any ideas. I was following this guide primarily but it is a little out dated.

PepsiColaNYC Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I had this same issue. The solution was to uninstall Paragon APFS (and HFS+ in your case too). Even if it hasn't mounted the partition, it still seems to interfere with VMware's native partition support. Unfortunately - after installing VMware Tools, my native Hackintosh freezes about 12 minutes after boot, with the last kernel log entry being "Loading VMware tools". This makes it unusable until there's a fix, or a way to selectively load VMware Tools only when the machine is running under VMware.

Naki Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Why are you using unlocker 2.1.1? This is very old. You need the latest one, i.e. Donk's 3.0.2 or the modified, non-Donk Unlocker 3.0.3 version.
