I virtualized a fisical machine but when i tried to open on workstation i got the same error: failed to lock the file. So i removed the 2 folders .lck but when starting again the machine i get this error: Cannot connect virtual device ide1:1. No corresponding device is available on the host.
It tries to open but as soon as windows screen appears i get a blu screen! i tried to map the drive to z as you suggested but i get the same error.
Can you helpme please. thanks
