Hi.


Objective: Putting as physical disk from the host's partitions.

Device and Software Availability:Windows 8, VMware workstation build 10, USB optical Drive,


Result:

Observations: Supposedly, the VMware had to detect the physical optical drive so the OS in it been automatically loaded. But in my case, It cannot find the physical drive resulting Operating System not found. Or, It might be host integration needs to set up correctly because it's says no corresponding device is available on the host.

I need more inputs for this... Guys help. I have 135 GB in host partition that I want it to used fully in VMware disk. I didn't ever tried this configuration before, so this time I am experimenting which better is performing faster among other disk set up in VMware.
