Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 What about....-using Daemon-Tools to mount the .iso and let VMWare use the virtual drive of Windows.-or creating a share, make sure your VMWare has a (bridged) network connection and log on to the share (or FTP or...).

Sonic Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 If the drag-drop doesn't work, it's because you don't install VmWare tools ... I think ... by the way, since beta 5.5 the copy by network/shared folder is more accurate (in speed) for me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(give vmware the host IP or like that). how to log on a share in VMWare? i have give the shared documents a try but i dont see the files in VMWare shared documents... do they means other shared folders? if so, where ?If the drag-drop doesn't work, it's because you don't install VmWare tools ...

Sonic Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 networkshare ?!Host system has an IP for example 192.168.0.1Guest IP has a Bridged network connection (configure your vmware machine to do that), and after guest system has OS installed you have an IP like 192.168.0.2 ... after simply to use network same as real network ...
