Pb UUID after converting with converter 3.0

[xybal]

Hi,

I've converted XP SP2 to VM with converter 3.0 and all was OK.

On Linux (FC6) I've tried to launch the XP and It asked me to keep or create a the UUID.

I've answered "keep" and it crashed without message and returning the the launching screen.

After that I've tried to modify the UUID manually changing 1 letter for instence and using this command " vmware-cmd -s register XP_SP2.vmx" but now I've the following message "unable to change power state of VM : the process exited with and error"

\- Have you got and idea to solve this ?

\- Coulf you explain the meaning of uuid and so on the way to modify it ?

Thx

The UUID is a virtual machine identifier that is stored in the SMBIOS. It is generated when you first power on a VM and remains constant until you move the VM.

Shut down the VM, and regenerate a new UUID.

Hi,

I would be happy to generate a new UUID but it doen't ask me to do this anymore, it just crash with the indicated massage.

Is there another solution to generate a new UUID ?

Thx

Sure - just delete the 2 lines in the vmx file with uuid=blahblah in them. If they don't exist, then the VMware product will automatically generate them.
