Just when I ran into a problem with my VMWare Server, I found this cool new online tool, easyVMX to create VMWare Virtual Machines which can be run using vmplayer.
After installing VMWare, Windows Vista will recognize CDs and DVDs as blank Discs on your CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD drives. When you try to access from “Computer”, it will pop the message
“Prepare this Blank Disk”
VMWare prompts to disable Auto-Run in Windows Vista to avoid performance and application issues during installation. If accepted, VMWare disables “Autorun” and thereon you face with this problem.
If you are an IT professional or a developer or even a home user who runs VMWare Server or VMWare workstation to run virtual machines for testing or evaluation of operating Systems or applications and only run VMWare temporarily then you wouldn’t want VMWare to eat up your system resources while you are actually not running any Virtual Machines.
