I recently purchased a larger hdd and loaded win 7 x64. I have my old HDD connected as a secondary drive. Is there a way to boot the old install through player?
I tried connecting to the physical disk as shown, removed the drive letter assignments, but it I get the error below when I try to boot up.
you hit a years old flaw in Workstation
on post Vista-hosts the physical disk feature is broken.
You must set the second disk to be offline with diskpart before you assign it to a virtual machine

Disk was set offline, but no luck. restarted computer, made sure it was offline and recreated vm, but still no luck.
Have a look at: LockDismount v0.3.0.0 [Update] - reboot.pro
Download: LockDismount v0.3.0.0
For the other issue just create an empty folder at the path shown in the error message.
you start vmplayer using "run as" administrator ?
I got it to work. Not only did i have to set the disk offline, I had to set the volumes offline as well.
