![]() Additionally, the Buslogic controller is not capable of supporting a disk greater than 2TB. Note: To use a disk greater than 2TB for a boot disk, your guest operating system would need to boot using EFI in order to read a GPT formatted disk which is required to access all of the sectors on a disk of this size. ![]() Given the limitations of most operating systems to boot from disks greater than 2 Terabytes, These large disks are most useful as secondary drives for file storage. Virtual machines can now include virtual disks greater than 2 Terabytes. Your physical machine must have at least 8 cores with hyper-threading enabled to power on a virtual machine with this configuration. Note: Running Virtual Machines with 16 vCPUs requires that both your host and guest operating system support 16 logical processors. This enables very processor intensive applications to be run in a virtual machine. Virtual Machines can now run with up to 16 virtual CPUs. New features included in this hardware version: ![]() Hardware versions introduce new virtual hardware functionality and new features while enabling VMware to run legacy operating systems in our virtual machines. This version of VMware Player includes VMware hardware Version 10. Support for Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise, Windows Server 2012 R2, Ubuntu 13.10 and the latest Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat and OpenSUSE releases. VMware Player 6 includes a Simplified UI mode that can be set to hide these menu items. Many of our customers would like to create virtual machines and provide them to their employees and students without enabling them to create virtual machines or modify VMware Player settings. VMware Player now allows the EULA to be suppressed, a destination directory to be set, to opt out of the User Experience Improvement Program, Desktop and start menu shortcuts to not be created, the serial key to be passed automatically installed, the software update URL and a support contact URL to be configured. VMware Player installation has been enhanced with configuration settings to allow unattended installation of VMware Player using enterprise software configuration management tools. Please read the End User License Agreement for specific terms and conditions. VMware Player is still available for Free for personal use. Licensed versions of VMware Player can be used for commercial purposes, the warning text in the title bar will be suppressed and VMware Player 6 Plus can run restricted virtual machines. A license key for VMware Player can be purchased from the VMware online store. With the release of VMware Player 6 VMware is introducing a commercial version of VMware Player called VMware Player 6 Plus. This release of VMware Player adds the following new features and support. It can be downloaded for free from VMware. The host operating system runs the VMware Player, which provides the guest with things like network access. To the guest operating system (the one running inside the virtual machine), it appears as though it were running on its own PC. Here’s how I setup the virtual machine to prepare for DOS.VMware Player allows you to run entire operating systems in a virtual machine, which runs on top of Ubuntu or Windows. Install “VMware Player” and then unzip the contents of the DOS file to wherever’s convenient. Also available for free from AllBootDisks I can’t vouch for them, but they were linked to on several forums, including Microsoft’s.A valid copy of the DOS 6.22 floppy disk image files - Available with an MSDN or TechNet account.Not exactly useful, and if you try to mount the floppy disks, you’ll get an error and the setup stops. They provide other copies of DOS 6.0 and 6.22, but those seem to be the contents of a CD or a file from a hard drive. Oh, but MSDN and TechNet only provide floppy disk images (IMG files) for the upgrade versions of DOS 6.22. This was back in the days when Windows ran on top of DOS though, so I needed to install DOS 6.22 first. ![]() Ooo, I already have Windows 8 running in a virtual machine. I started off looking at my MSDN account for a copy of Windows 98 to install some old software (compatibility mode under Windows 7 didn’t work), and noticed the only versions of Windows available are 7, 8 and…. ![]()
