Importing into VMWare Workstation 6.5

2009-01-16 Thread Odhiambo Washington
Hi, For those who are running FreeBSD inside VMWare, I have a FreeBSD-7.1 on a hard disk. I also run VMware Wkstn 6.5 running on a Windows XP PC. Is there an easy way to import from the hard disk to a guest OS? Suppose I have the hard disk connected to the XP box? -- Best regards, Odhiambo
