Hello
I'm using VmWare, work very good. But if I want use a little aplication from windows.....
Is any way to mount the windows partition of VmWare and use it with Wine ????
Thank you very much
That truely depends on what disk type your VMWare is using.
If you are using a disk partition or a straight disk file, you can use losetup (RTFM) to bypass the MBR and stuff, and get to the actual partition. Be sure to NEVER mount it simultaniously on both VMWare and Linux.
If you are using a smart disk (the default), things are tricker. VMware comes with a utility called "vmware-mount.pl", which does exactly that but for one small problem - it doesn't work.
In the past, using some strace magic, I managed to get it working (don't remeber whether it was it or vmware-loop). Unfortunetly, I can't remeber how I did it. If you come across the info, do let me know as well.
A third option you may wish to consider is to use an SMB mount. Either mount your vmware windows folder on Linux, or place the files on Linux to begin with and mount them on your Windows box. VMWare even offers to set this config up for you automatically, but I can't vouch for a how good that works.
