I was running the full version (evaulation copy) and used the wizard to create the vm. 4G disk (which I could change, but left it).
Regarding the com ports, I find that have to uninstall/re-install them after powering them down. Wierd. I can live w/ it for a while since I don't use it to sync my palm or download from my camera very often. At some point I will have to figure out what the issue is and determine if its a bug or what. Regarding your writer (and mine). I went to the vmware website and found that they don't support burners, but treat them as readers only. I can see both my reader (/dev/hdc) and my writer (/dev/ttyS0). The writer is scsi emulated, but both are really ide. I still haven't decided whether to fork up the $ for the full version or to go with the express, since I may not need win2k. But I do think that I am going to give up on Win4Lin...
