How to install Windows using a disk image in a VMware Fusion virtual machine

[criticalerr0r]

This is easy......I need a video or a genius to show me how to install windows using vmware onto a physical disk (partition) my dilemma is that my interior disc drive is damaged and installing windows via cd is impossible as apple doesnt allow 3rd party external drives to boot windows but it allows you to boot mac osx....and this pisses me off....i tried all those things online such as thumb drive, the vmware thing and i even went out and purchased the macbook air cd drive which doesnt work

The new image button is not working for me please help

Awesome! This has helped me install a Windows VM on my MacBook Air (I own a Windows CD, but the Air has no drive, so the easy thing for me was make the image and copy that over the internet to the Air).

@shaneymane15 Dude, you can find torrents all over the internet for an ISO file of any operating system, just look around this is for instructional purposes only, so just stop your whining, and you should just get off of the internet if you want to be like that :) (Thumbs this up if you agree with me)

@shaneymane15

did you get windows on yor mac? im currently working on it :/ got a solution?

[shaneymane15]

@AQA5G4RD1AN No... I only wanted it so I could play games, but I ended up just getting a PS3 instead.

[AQA5G4RD1AN]

@shaneymane15

ROFL, you let the MAC win?? You just gave up?? What a loser you are....! HAHHA

[shaneymane15]

@AQA5G4RD1AN What... no. Using my Mac was a back up plan, getting a PS3 was the ideal situation.

[AQA5G4RD1AN]

@shaneymane15

@CRUCIALTAGZ

I'm glad to hear this worked for you!

If you're seeing the warning about your antivirus that I suspect, it's not that you have to uninstall it but that you should set it not to scan your Virtual Machines directory. You can read more about this in two places:

- The Fusion 3.0 Release Notes (scroll down to "Installation Notes"): vmware.com/support/fusion3/doc­/releasenotes_fusion.html

- Our Knowledge Base article: kb.vmware.com/kb/1014531

@CRUCIALTAGZ

As for making more room on your hard drive, do you mean within Windows or on the Mac's hard drive?

if you need to expand your Windows vvirtual machine' drive, have a look at this article: vmware.com/kb/1020778

If you think your virtual machine is taking up too much space on your Mac's drive, have a look at this article: vmware.com/kb/1025628

when i put a blank dvd in my laptop i get a message saying to insert dvd when i already done it. can u please help

[SGatVMW]

@OJmastersz

It sounds like your DVD isn't truly blank, or that it's not a format supported by your drive. Apple can give you better, more specific information but this article might help: docs.info.apple.com/article.ht­ml?path=Mac/10.6/en/11449.html

[TheModMan310]

can apps be installed on the windows?

[SGatVMW]

@TheModMan310

You can use the virtual machine just like you'd use a physical Windows computer, including installing applications, playing games, etc.
