TC does not detect harddisk in VMware
« on: October 17, 2011, 04:18:06 AM »
I followed instructions on installing TC in VMware from TC Wiki,
created IDE0 harddisk but somehow the TC 3.8.4 does not see that harddisk, only the CD-ROM drive so I am not able to install TC on virtual harddisk of VMware.  Does anyone know if there any additional tricks/tweaks need to be done in VMware to make TC detect virtual harddisk of VMware?

The strange thing that this used to work about a year ago with some older 3.x versions. I do remember installing TC in vmware some 1-2 years ago. Is something changed in VMware in past 2 years or in TC??

I am trying to use TC_install to make frugal install so that TC boots from harddisk in stead of ISO. Currently MOUNT TOOL does not detect harddisk.

BR,
Tim

I followed instructions on installing TC in VMware ..
do you have a link to the instructions you followed  ?
 .. it would help to know exactly what they are
 and what install method you intend to use

if you just added a disk  it will need partitioning/formatting !

Does disk needs to be pre-formatted already?? I thought TC_install module does all the partitioning/formatting when installing TC on HD.

I got it working with a frugal install but had to make the hard drive and IDE drive.  Since the version of VMWARE workstation I was using didn't support it, I created a IDE hard drive with .vmdk extension in Virtualbox.  Then, copied it to the folder where the vmware workstation virtual files are keep.

Then, we I started the frugal install, I found sda as the drive to use.  The installation went fine then.

In 4.x we specifically support VMWare pvscsi.

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I can second that, I got it working in VMware Workstation 8 after selecting IDE drive rather than the default SCSI
