It depends on which keyboard you are using. On a laptop you'll have to hold down function plus backspace to do the same as the Delete key on a full-size keyboard.

To bring up the start menu I think you just hit the Apple key next to the space bar.

F10 is the OSX command to show only windows associated with the current application. Shift-F10 does the same thing, just at a very slow rate. Maybe this key combination can be remapped in one of the system preferences.

Hello Chris,
I think the copy works.
I have used the open-function in vmware and I have chozen the duplicated folder to start and it works. To be shore which image I was running, I renamed the my computer on the desktop so both works well.

But I have still 2 other questions:

- on windows , how can I delete files ;
- how can I start the task-manager
- how can I activate the context-menu.

I think this doesn't work because thereis no delete-key o n a mac-keyboard, only backspace?

Alse , the context-menu with shift+f10 doesn't work and I don't understand why.

The keyboard settings of my mac are set that the functionkeys of my macbook, are direct axccessible without fn-key.

thanx alot for you answer,
best regards,

That doesn't sound right. How did you duplicate it? You should be able to just select the folder with your virtual machine in it and do an Apple-D to duplicate it. Make sure your vmware isn't running so it doesn't lock some files.

Hello all,
I have made a copy of my virtual machine (windows xp pro) with vmware.


If I look to the orriginal and the copy, the size and amount of files is not exactly the same:

original:
has a size of 5.34 GB 5.744.797.696
bytes
16 directorys and 34 files


copy:
3.99 GB or 4.294.336.512
bytes

37 files and 16 directorys


So, this is not totally the same.

Can I start my virtual machine for one time with the copy of my image (from a usb-drive) or the harddisk of my mac?

Thanx alot for the answers,

best regards,
William
