maxXPsoft Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 and mazinNo longer old with all these replies and funny before I noticed that I saw he wanted the dir structure.After fighting VMWare and virtual for 6 month's trying to make it play well I'll waste the CD's at 20 cent's each. CDRW might be worth a shot though.1. NO more problem's2. Driver's all install as I intended.3. Time to drink a beer or three while I wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 @prathapml??? 9 months old post???Now, it's not only prathapml!But:prathapmlvisaversaBâshrat the SneakyMCTmazin You all got together to raise this thread from the dead, I suppose. (LMAO)Why I replied to this post?1. Maybe the author of this thread hasn't found the answer yet (very unlikely, I know, but still it doesn't hurt to help).2. heh heh, spamming around a little bit to do what I call "maximize" post count Ok now, coming back to the topic:Using a CD-RW is certainly a good idea, but VMware doesn't require all that "fighting with" (as maxXPsoft describes) either - I found it pretty easy to use, and a better option for preliminary testing in most cases. It won't harm your real hardware/OS in any way, and you can always use your real machine once you are sure that your CD will work fine (after testing in VMware).
