Use vmware-mount to load vmdk files

 

RHEL4's vmdk file is damaged, and the file cannot be seen during winimage loading. After vmware-mount is loaded, double-click windows to check whether the file needs to be formatted. It is faint!

 

Use vmware-mount to load vmdk files

After VMware is installed, the software includes a vmware-mountProgramThe program can directly load the vmdk file (that is, the hard disk file used by the Virtual Machine) on the host machine (real machine). In this case, we can directly use the files in the virtual machine on the host machine. You can enter the path of VMware-mount in the Start Menu, for example, C:/program files/vmware diskmount utility. Of course, the specific path depends on the path you have installed.

C:/Documents and Settings/ronun> Cd C:/program files/vmware diskmount Utility
C:/program files/vmware diskmount utility> dir

The volume in drive C is not labeled.

The serial number of the volume is

The above is the help information. For example, if you want to load the D:/temp/Win2k. vmdk file, use the following command:

C:/program files/vmware diskmount utility> vmware-mount Z: D:/temp/Win2k. vmdk


At this time, there will be an extra Z disk on your machine, which contains the Virtual Machine hard disk D:/temp/Win2k. vmdk.

If you want to uninstall it, use the/d parameter:

C:/program files/vmware diskmount utility> vmware-mount Z:/d
