| | How to stop "Merging Disks"? I have VPC 2007 installed running XP Pro On top of Vista Business. Works fine except that every time I Shutdown XP via VPC, It provides 3 options : "Commit changes to the Vitual Hard Disk" "Save and Undo disk Changes" "Delete undo Disk Changes" I always select the first option. On a different machine with VPC when I shutdown it simply Closes and shutsdown. I want to change the first install where it asks the three questions. I have already converted the disk to a fixed size. What can I do . This "commit" option takes forever as it is merging Disks. Thanks MikeSr |

Shut down the VM, go into settings and uncheck Undo Disks. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |

Other than this major lack, I really like VPC and I don't particularly care if it has USB support...but snapshots are essential if you use virtual machines for testing software and if there is no snapshot ability then you have to use Undo Disks. But for a free product I really can't complain. VMWare is expensive. Quote: |
