VMWare

#1 Post by Evil20071 »

I'm trying to get Slacko 5.4 working in VMWare 9, but it's not reading the virtual drive that is associated with it's VM... Any ideas/suggestions?

Is your virtual drive IDE or SCSI?

VMware Player, at least, will try to make a SCSI virtual drive for your VM, but it does not work for Puppy. You should remove that drive and create a new one that is set up as IDE.

Already did that. I have it set up as IDE from the setup because SCSI drives usually have issues in virtualization anyway... I'll try to redo the VM from scratch and see what happens...

Here's what the settings for the HDD look like, along with Slacko 5.4 -NOT- seeing the HDD at all in PMount.

I was told that this package could be used on any Puppy since 4.3.1 :
But not true, the package is aimed to a specific version of Slacko.
I look yr progress in the matter. and i will follow your step by step.
Bonne journée.

I just want to verify the same for VMWare Player 4.x. The SCSI option doesn't appear in Puppy 4.3.1 but IDE does.
