Vmware and windows 7

Does anybody know how to uninstall the windows 7 from Vmware fusion4? I have the instructions on uninstalling VMware, or would that also uninstall win 7? I ask this due to having to install the two separately.
Thank you in advance.

VMware and Windows Server Storage Space

We know Windows Storage Server could be storage of VMware.
Could VMware also adopt Storage Space feature when using Windows Storage Server?

Hi,
I'm a little unclear about the question.
Do you mean you are going to install a VM in VMware as Windows Storage Server and setup Storage Space on it?
I cannot confirm if there is any specific limitation of VMware but personally I think it will work. In Hyper-V it is supported.

I have installed VMware Fusion but having trouble with Calyx Point software and was told Bootcamp needed to be installed. Will I not have to uninstall Calyx, VMWare and Windows 7 prior to installing Bootcamp?

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and I really like it. However, for my job I have to use Calyx Point software which has to be ran on the Windows side, so they sold me VMware Fusion software. It works fine until I try to save a PDF or email docs. I have called Calyx and they have advised me that bootcamp works. I am wondering if this is going to help and since I have already installed VMware am I not going to have to uninstall that program, Windows and Point and then install bootcamp and reinstall Windows and Point? If I'm beating my head against the wall, and just need to return the laptop, then that's what I will do, but I sure hate to as I really like my Mac.

Checked VMware Fusion Community Forum?
Most install Windows (natively) and then 'attach' the (Boot Camp) partition to Fusion.
that way you can dual boot and run Windows natively when needed, and run Windows as a Guest OS VM under Mac OS.
But.... and I don't know about Calyx, doing things like save pdf and email should work fine same as usual.
Maybe there is something you didn't or need to do to Fusion (Tools or install Acrobat) or in configuring.
I used Fusion but found I prefered running Windows natively at the time.
If you do need to use one install in both manners, then you need to do through and partition your drive and reinstall Windows that way, and only then attach Fusion to it.
If you need to run Windows for work, I'd exchange it - especially if you have only had it a couple days, and get another. There are a lot of new laptops coming out in the next months that look nice, fast and won't have some of the issues you run into with Windows on a Mac.

VMWare and Windows

Hi,
I would like to know if anyone have any exprienced with Oracle database on a virtuel session Windows on VmWare.
I saw a lot of guide of "How to install an oracle database on Linux with VMware" but I didn't see any with Windows.Is there a lots of bugs?
Is it complicated to clone the session? Except for the server name, etc do I have to do a lots of step to clone a database? I know I will have to change de DBID, dbname and the parameter file, is there anything else I will have to change? I guess I will have to change all the directory name where my DBname is in it.
Have you even seen a kind of "Check list" on how to clone a virtual session with Windows?
Thank you

but I didn't see any with Windows.Is there a lots of bugs?
Bugs? Apart from the OS you mean? ;-) I think the installation on windows is a little easier (for beginners). Especially because you have to do some manual work to install oracle on the varous linux systems (not all of them are officially supported).
But apart from that personally I feel it's more easier to administrate an oracle db on unix/linux then on windows.
Is it complicated to clone the session? Except for the server name, etc do I have to do a lots of step to clone a database?
Session? Database? What do you want to clone?

I have a 2008 iMac 21.5" 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with 4.1.3 VMWare and windows 7.Mountain Lion initially refused to down load as I had back up on the HD. this was removed and installation was accepted but froze in the initial stages with 33 mins to go.

I have a 2008 iMac 21.5" using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with VM Ware 4.1.3 supporting Windows 7. Initially ML OSX refused to install due to Back up on HD which I removed to trash.It then proceeded but froze up in the initial stages with 33 mins remaining. I was lucky enough to quit and restart using 10.6.8. With all the problems on this chat line, it appears it may be best to leave Mountain Lion well alone, and cut losses rather than tempt fate.Has anybody anything positive to say or help with?

Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
So here's my dilemma:
1. Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on the same "Fusion 5"?
2. Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
3. Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
OR
Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
"Unlimited Client License"
It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
One thing though ... when you mention: "you should make two virtual machines".
Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
"two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?

Windows 7 and a mac and vmware and internet connection challenges

Hello
I have a macbook pro that I bought this year. Loaded vmware and win xp on it. Tried to load win 7 on it and it went well. Now it seems I can't connect to the internet. I removed all the preloaded pc security to zero, so I believe this isn't the issue.
Went to the device manager and see that the ethernet has issues. Looks like the drivers are out of date, or not functioning. When I looked on the mac side under utilities, I see its a broadcom 57765-BO ethernet card. I believe I got the correct one from broadcom, but it still didn't work? Its strange because the ethernet and wifi work on the mac side but not on the win 7 side?
Any suggestions for making this work?
Thanks
Keith

Are you saying you loaded Windows 7 using Fusion? If so, you should seek answers in the Fusion or Windows forums. Your issue has nothing to do with OSx or Apple. Neither does it have anything to do with Apple software compatibility with Windows.
If you are running Windows in a virtual machine your Apple hardware is not relevant to your issue. Fusion creates virtual hardware. The best way to get support for virtual machines is to go to the virtual machine's web site and look in their support.
If the Windows drivers are out of date, from within Windows update the drivers.

10.4.11, VMware Fusion and Windows XP (Home Edition) works just fine

OK, so I'm through the installation of VMware Fusion and Windows XP (Home Edition) and I have to say that it was pretty much point and click as advertised. All network services seem to be working and I'm running both OS side-by-side with out a hitch.
Haven't put the system through any rigorous test yet, like VPN, network printing or rending large graphic files, but the installation, setup and normal operation went smoothly taking about an hour in total.
Machine: MacBook Pro, 1.8Ghz with 1G of RAM memory and dual monitors.
Host OS: MacOS 10.4.11

I now have installed XP Pro into a Boot Camp Partition. Basically point and shoot. Then while booted in XP I used PC Mover to migrate my old PC to the Boot Camp partition. With the exception of one program and my virus and firewall programs all went well, almost point and shoot. Then I installed VMWares Fusion and used my Boot Camp partition as the source. If you follow instructions from VMWare things work relatively problem free.
After posting questions on VMwares site about processing video and compiling DVDs in Windows using Fusion I decided that such processor intensive requirements are best handled in the Boot Camp (native) mode.
The biggest problem I have encountered is that Microsoft Office constantly asks to be reactivated when switching between Boot Camp startup and Fusion. No solution I know of, except not to use Office in Boot Camp Mode. Secondly XP Pro required a re-authorization from Microsoft so I could run it in both Boot Camp and Fusion modes. Obtaining the authorization (activation code) from Microsoft was not a problem.

Switching between OS 10 and Windows 8 using VMware

Using an earlier version of Mac OS, I always used a Spaces window to load VMware Fusion. I could easily switch between OS and Windows by pressing the command and arrow keys. With Spaces no longer available, is it possible to switch between OS and Windows using only the keyboard? Thanks.

What version of the OS are you running. If 10.7 or later, Spaces have been replaced by Desktops, which can be added just like Spaces.

Which VMware support Windows 7 as Host and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS

Folks,
Hello. I need to install PeopleSoft PIA in Windows Server 2003.
Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Editon and cannot dual boot multiple Operating systems. I have to install VMware in Host Windows 7 and then install Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS for PIA.
I have installed VMware Server 2.0.2 into Host Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333/ui cannot display any more.
I have found that Windows 7 is not a supported Host Operating System for VMware Server 2 and strange thing might happen anytime. I found that "VMware Player 3" is fully supported Windows 7 as Host OS but is not supported Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS.
Does any folks know which VMware product support Windows 7 as Host OS and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS ?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Ensure the printer is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and the drivers are up-to-date.
2.
Try the following method:
Printers that use ports that do not begin with COM, LPT,
or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Regards,
Nicholas Li - MSFT
That doesn't apply to Windows 7 Machines. I'm having the same problem as Acer_, I have a RDP Session from a Windows 7 Machine to a Windows XP machine and the local printer was available a few days ago but isn't anymore. The drivers are installed on both PC's
and are compatible with Windows 7.

Can I use XP, Vista and Windows Server on my Mac Pro

Looking for options to have multiple Operating Systems available for bootup.
I need to have the ability to run XP, Vista, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 server. I am currently using a Windows PC with BootCommander. I want to use my Mac Pro for its power.
I have tried to use VMWare Fusion and it works perfectly. However, Camtasia crashes regularly within Fusion and I need high resolution desktop captures and the way virtualization does (rather does not) virtualize the RAM on the video card has made it not a viable solution.
Your help is appreciated.

Format one or more of your drives as MBR and setup some partitions. Install in proper order. Or use multiple drives. Maybe someone on Fusion forum can help.

Some have used multiple VMs with Fusion and Apple Pro RAID5.

Can I install Windows 7 and Windows 8 to my MBA using Parallels and Bootcamp?

I have a Macbook Air (latest model, 11", i7, 256gb, 8gb ram, Mavericks).
I need to have access to Windows 7 and 8 and have been toying with the idea of getting a cheap laptop but the problem is most new machines are Windows 8 and they won't allow you to dual-boot with Windows 7 (you need W7 as your main OS and then install W8 later).
I'm also keen on not spending a shedload extra and carrying another device, so I was thinking if this was possible:
Buy Parallels Desktop 9 - then either using bootcamp or not, Install both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
I'm not fussed about running everything at the same time, happy to shut one VM down if it helps performance.
I have read that multiple OSs such as vista and XP worked once upon a time, but I get the feeling the screw is being tightened with all these cross OS installs and didn't want to drop a couple of hundred quid only to find out I'm trying something that isn't possible.
thanks for your advice.

I can't help you with Parallels, but I've been using VMware Fusion for quite a while and you can run Windows 95 through Windows 8.1 without difficulty, so Windows 7 and 8 on the same Mac is easy to do. I think your biggest difficulty will be the small size of your SSD. But with virtualization, you can put the virtual machines on an external SSD connected via USB 3.0 and run them quite well.

I want to delete VM fusion and windows 7 then install windows 7 with bootcamp, how do I do this? Help Please!!

I am running VM Fusion firm ware and windows, so I can check my military email form time to time and esign documents from time to time. But it is way way too slow, Can anyone tell me how to delete the firm ware and windows and then use bootcamp to run windows? Please help!

1. Are you backing up your entire drive? If yes, it will include you Mac and the VM, both, unless you specifically excluded.
2. In a nutshell, leave your VM intact, if you have about 50-100GB free on the current hard disk.
3. You can install Windows via Bootcamp on the existing disk, provided #2 is true.
4. What type of a Mac do you have, the year/model would help fill in more specific details.
5. The steps to install Windows via Bootcamp are
     a. Run Application -> Utilities -> Bootcamp Assistant.
     b. It has three check boxes, which will download Windows drivers which support Apple hardware, partition you disk, and install windows
          using the install media. Depending on #4, it may require using a USB2 flash drive of 8/16 GB.
     c. Once you have Windows installed, you may need to install drivers that support Apple Hardware.
     e. You can transfer files from your VM to your Bootcamp Windows installation. At this point you can delete the VMwar
          Windows, if you like.
     f. Please be aware that to run Windows under Bootcamp would require selecting Windows and rebooting the Mac overtime you want to switch between OSX
         and Windows.
This is the quickest set of steps that will have Windows running.

Installing Fusion3 and Windows 7 on external drive

Hello and Help!
I'm taking delivery on an iMac 27", 2.8 quad core, 8GB RAM and with 1TB HDD. I currently have Boot Camp on my MBP running Windows XPP. I invested in VMware Fusion3 and now run Boot Camp within OSX and really like it.
With the new iMac coming, someone suggested that I install Fusion3 and Windows, (which will be Windows 7) on a separate external HDD. First, I assume it's possible, but I have no clue as to how. Do I run Boot Camp with the external HDD mounted and path Windows 7 to it? And then do I install Fusion 3 in OSX or the external drive. Installing in OSX is easy since I've already done it, but I don't know about installing it on an external drive.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Ron

Please see http://bleeptobleep.blogspot.fr/2013/02/mac-install-windows-7-or-8-on-external.h tml for one possible solution.
Windows-to-Go is also another option - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/products-and-technologies/devi ces/windowstogo.aspx
