Re: A disk read error occured. Win NT Workstation 4. 0 Japanese OS on VMWare Workstation 6

It seems the problem with the NTFS version used by Windows NT 4.0. VMWare Workstation 6.0 seems to support only NTFS 5.1 used by Windows 2000 and higher.
Solution: Convert the vmware image. From Workstation 6.0 menu bar, Click on File -> Import -> Standalone Virtual Machine -> Point to the vmware image vmx file and create full clone of this VM.
