Editing the VM

Is there a way to edit the vm after it has been created. I know the VMX file can be modified, but there should be a way to edit the VM from the Fusion Application.

Basically I want to change the SCSI HD to IDE because of driver issue but I can't seem to do it.

Thanks for the help.

We all agree here. The currently availablle beta does not allow editing the VMX within the Fusion application.

For now use TextEdit to modify the VMX while the machine is turned off. This is a template I've used for an ide disk:[code]

ide0:0.present = "TRUE"

ide0:0.fileName = "IDE-disk.vmdk"

ide0:0.deviceType = "disk"

ide0:0.mode = "independent-persistent"[/code]
