Disabling Question Pop Ups in vmware server posted: Jul 12, 2008 4:44 AM

Hi, I'm running vmware server 1.06 with linux as the host. Within the vm, I am running a program from an iso file to repair my secondary hard drive. However, vmware will not let it run because I keep getting "questions" about failed operations and such that I have to answer Abort, Continue or Retry. I expect such errors, and I simply want vmware to Continue without prompting me every time. Is there a way to disable such prompting and just let the vm run normally? Thanks..

Please post a screenshot with those errors.
During what of your action do they appear?

I'm afraid you would need to work with defective drive on real system.
Virtualization adds another layer of complexity, difficult to deal with, in this particular case.
