<Cpt|Kirk> Because this machine has IDE
<Ta1oN> depends on what you want to do
<Cpt|Kirk> oh...
<Cpt|Kirk> So it can be virtual SCSI if I want.
<Ta1oN> oh, i see your problem...
<[M]ax> m500 phone
<Ta1oN> yes, it can be anything you want
<Ta1oN> vmware is a virtualization software
<Ta1oN> i.e. it virtualizes almost all devices
<Cpt|Kirk> yeah, I was thinking that.
<Ta1oN> you don't need to have any device in real
<Ta1oN> some devices are not virtualized though... cpu for example
<Cpt|Kirk> But it is having trouble actually recognizing the virtual hdd
<Cpt|Kirk> installing linux on vmware
<Ta1oN> as i said, it depends on what you want to do
<Cpt|Kirk> so that is off-topic
<Ta1oN> for example: using scsi with xp pro on vmware is possible, but not easy to do, cause the driver provided by vmware is pretty much ****
<Cpt|Kirk> ok
<Ta1oN> using scsi with w2k3 is no problem at all in vmware though
<Cpt|Kirk> lol
<Ta1oN> so you see, it depends on what you plan to do
<Ta1oN> vmware know this too, and if you use the wizard to create your vm, it will select ide or scsi accordingly
<Ta1oN> it will create ide drives if you install xp and scsi drives if you install 2k3
<Ta1oN> also keep in mind that there is no up- or downside in using scsi or ide in the vm
<Cpt|Kirk> yeah, I cant find slackware in the wizard
<Cpt|Kirk> so I stuck trying a 2.4 kernel
<Ta1oN> the only reason why scsi can be selected, is that some operating system functions need scsi to work
<Ta1oN> for example clustering with w2k3 needs a full scsi system, or it won't even allow you to build a cluster
<Ta1oN> that's pretty much the only mms://69.50.134.236/feeds/wildsolos/19_avalone/ms14_04_04_high.wmv?c=ms14_04_04_high.wmv&t=14&w=1000&s=0&v=1&k=e67b3cc12f54e1a47604b159a26b6daa
<Ta1oN> oops
<Ta1oN> ignore my last line -.-
<Ta1oN> wanted to say: that's pretty much the only need for scsi in a vm
<Ta1oN> oh, and of course if you want to use more than 4 hdd's
<Cpt|Kirk> Hey Ta1oN, any idea what is happened when I seem to be able to partition my IDE drive, but when it comes to installing the files from the CD in setup, I get errors galore.
<Ta1oN> did you check the bios?
<Cpt|Kirk> linux on VMware
<Ta1oN> especially disk-access mode
<Ta1oN> by default vmware sets it to DOS
<Ta1oN> but linux normally needs "other"
<Cpt|Kirk> how do I edit the bios in vmware?
<Ta1oN> same way as you do it on any real pc
<Ta1oN> press F2 when the bios is starting up to enter it
<mellojell> I have some sort of MHTML file which is supposed to have photos or something inside, but I cant seem the view them, how can i get those photos?
<mellojell> hellooo?
<Ta1oN> patiance
<Ta1oN> most in here are at sleep at the moment
<Ta1oN> and if you ask a question you should at least give it some minutes until someone may be able to answer you
<Ta1oN> and for your question: mhtml is made for mails normally... anyway, you should be able to open it with any html render engine
<Ta1oN> internet explorer for example
<mellojell> i tried
<mellojell> it only comes up with the text the person wrote
<mellojell> like 'here are the pictures' but the pictures dont show
<mellojell> the same email shows on my friends computer
<Ta1oN> what e-mail program are you using?
<mellojell> outlook
<Ta1oN> outlook express or outlook?
<mellojell> outlook
<Ta1oN> make sure you are displaying the mail as html and not as text
<Ta1oN> when you have the mail open check the menubar -> format
<Ta1oN> make sure it's set to html there
<Ta1oN> also check your outlook options... there are some options which could prevent displaying of html mails
<Ta1oN> for example the "read all mails as text only" setting ;)
<Ta1oN> or settings in your ie security zones... make sure they are set to default
<mellojell> interesting
<Ta1oN> also make sure you have all updates installed are using a current version of outlook... mhtml was one of the main-reasons for auto-executing code in mail-clients... if your system isn't patched up, opening mhtml could easily compromise your whole system
<mellojell> ohh
<mellojell> thanks!
<Cpt|Kirk> I got slackware working in VMware
<Ta1oN> grats
<Cpt|Kirk> It took me awhile to get it
<Cpt|Kirk> But your suggestion to change the bios sorted out a lot of problems
<Ta1oN> :)
<CyberGeek> :-))
<Ta1oN> 100 minutes to go... and i'm booored...
<Cpt|Kirk> I will also install fBSD6
<Cpt|Kirk> And then Solaris for fun
<Cpt|Kirk> Hey Ta1oN one question. Inside VMware can I actually mnt physical drives?
<Ta1oN> for fbsd6: take care when installing the vmware tools... i had more problems wih them than without them
<Ta1oN> yes you can mount physical drives... but the drive you want to mount can't be used on your host-os at the same time
<Ta1oN> normally you should have a seperate harddisk which is solely for use by vmware
<Ta1oN> if you just want ot share data between your host and your guest machine, you should instead use standard networking features, or the vmware tools if available
<Cpt|Kirk> What I want to do is copy stuff from my host HDDs to the Host machine. I was hoping to just mount the nfts drives inside the host OS and read the data from there.
<Ta1oN> ok, rephrase that again... from host to host?
<Cpt|Kirk> opss
<Ta1oN> host os is your normal one
<Ta1oN> guest os is the one running in vmware
<Cpt|Kirk> What I want to do is copy stuff from my host HDDs to the Host machine. I was hoping to just mount the nfts drives inside the guest OS and read the data from there.
<Cpt|Kirk> ahhh bad
<Cpt|Kirk> one moment
<Ta1oN> na, i understood
<Cpt|Kirk> What I want to do is copy stuff from my host HDDs to the Guest OS. I was hoping to just mount the nfts drives inside the guest OS and read the data from there.
<Ta1oN> if the ntfs drive is a seperate harddisk (not just a seperate volume), it should be possible
<Cpt|Kirk> yeah it is
<Ta1oN> you still need some ntfs filesystem driver in your guest os though
<Cpt|Kirk> I got that covered
<Cpt|Kirk> I can mount drives with fstab or manually, but fdisk -l can't see them
<Ta1oN> ok, first you need to make sure that the drive is added as a harddisk device inside vmware
<Ta1oN> to do that you need to completely shut down your guest os
<Ta1oN> then go to vm->settings
<Ta1oN> in there you can choose "add"->harddisk->"use a physical disk"
<Ta1oN> read the warning and then choose your disk/partition you want to use...
<Ta1oN> but be careful: as i said already, don't use individual partitoins and especially don't use a harddisk which is in constant use by windows (the system drive, a drive which contains a pagefile,...)
<Cpt|Kirk> hmm
<Cpt|Kirk> yeah that could be dangerous if the guest OS has write permissions
<Ta1oN> not only then...
<Ta1oN> vmware makes no guarantees for using physical disks
<Ta1oN> they don't even support this feature
<Ta1oN> so if ANYTHING goes bad, you are on your own
<Cpt|Kirk> wow
<Cpt|Kirk> sort of scary
<Ta1oN> and better safe than sorry... so don't use a drive which is important to the system or which contains important data that you have not backed up
<Ta1oN> personally, i do not recommend using this feature at all... use vmware tools and/or networking instead to share files
<Cpt|Kirk> ok
<tRrFX> i want to let my pc run the whole day for dls. can i somehow set down the power consumption so that only the needed functions will perform?
<Ta1oN> if you bios supports the needed features, and your chipset/mainboard does so as well, then windows will do this automatically for you, tRrFX
<Ta1oN> only make sure you chose the correct power profile
<compdoc> laptops can slow down the cpu
<tRrFX> i have an asus motherboard which has some options like thottle cpu to 50% etc.
<Ta1oN> or you could use different hardware profiles and manually decide what will run and what not
<compdoc> desktops tend to run full blast
<Ta1oN> not necessarily, compdoc
<Ta1oN> depends on cpu, instruction sets, bios, chipset...
<compdoc> yeah they do, unless they hibernate, which isnt what he wants
<Ta1oN> if you think so...
<tRrFX> there are tools out there with which you can set the cpu speed to certain points ( to play old games and stuff ) would that help too?
<Ta1oN> anyway, if you set your powercfg to "minimal power management", xp will do it's best to keep the power as low as possible
<tRrFX> better than "dauerbetrieb"?
<Ta1oN> oh, in german it would be "minimaler energieverbrauch"
<Ta1oN> "desktop" runs the system at it's full power, shutting only down monitor and/or hdd if you specified it
<Ta1oN> "dauerbetrieb" runs the system at full power, excluding video
<Ta1oN> also "dauerbetrieb" give more systemresources to backgroundtasks than "desktop" does
<tRrFX> is there a tool that can measure the parameters so that i can look at a log if something has changed in power consumption (maybe in perfmon?)?
<Ta1oN> "präsentation" give full power to the video system, and tries to minimize powerusage everywhere else
<bofh`> buy an ammeter
<Ta1oN> hm, i don't know about perfmon... but an usv could easily show you
<Ta1oN> if you connect an ups to your pc, it's diagnosing software would be the best bet to see powerusage
<Ta1oN> all other tools would just measure single parts, and that is no reliable way of telling the overall powerconsumption
<tRrFX> ups
<tRrFX> where can i find it?
<Ta1oN> but try everest and/or sandra... i think they have some voltage displays
<tRrFX> ok
<Ta1oN> ups = universal power supply... that's a device you plug between your pc and the power source
<tRrFX> oh icee
<Ta1oN> and regarding everest/sandra:
<Ta1oN> ?? everest
<CyberGeek> everest == The new aida32 | Sadly there is no longer a free version available. | http://www.lavalys.com/ | ?? sandra
<Ta1oN> ?? sandra
<CyberGeek> sandra == Good diagnostic program www.sisoftware.co.uk
<tRrFX> ok thnx
<tRrFX> :)
