I was following your tutorial to create Vmware image to run on the server. But when I followed it, and given all specification, it starts and stops after 11% and gives error

FAIL TO TAKE THE SNAPSHOT OF THE SOURCE VOLUME, POSSIBLE CAUSES INCLUEDS NOT HAVING NTFS VOLUME ON WINDOWS XP OR 2003 SERVER AND NOT HAVING ENOUGH SPACE.

I checked both Free space and NTFS parition, its there. I dont know whats causing trouble. Any help?

Cheers!

Do you have an external USB drive where you can store the image on? I'd try that instead of storing the image on the same drive as the OS.

I tried to store on external drive but it says cant store VM. I have tried all possibilities. I have two machines connected via LAN, tried via ip address tried but gives same result.

Is it an XP system or Vista? I don't know if Vista is supported already.
