The mac was upgraded to el capitan prior to the install of vmware fusion so i don't think any of the upgrade issues should apply.
I have made several attempts to install a windows 10 vm from bootcamp partition and i get the error message:
Boot Camp volume preprocessing failed.
You may not be able to boot your Boot Camp volume as a virtual machine.
I can launch the vm, but the vmware tools/drivers are not installed, so there is limited performance & finctionality. The bootcamp partition is a clean install of windows 10 with only autocad 2015 installed (autocad works perfectly when i boot to windows 10 directly).
When i attempt to run autocad in the bootcamp vm, i get prompted to allow or deny access, if i "deny all" the app launches but crashes with license error (works in bootcamp). If i allow all, i get the following error:
The operation on the file "/dev/rdisk0" failed (Bad file descriptor).
The file system where disk "/dev/rdisk0" resides is full.
Select Retry to attempt the operation again.
Select Cancel to end the session.
If then vmware crashes with the error:
VMware cannot syncronise with the disk "/dev/rdisk0"
The volume may be inconsistant.
I have ran disc utils on the drive and no errors are found. My disk is 1tb with roughly 300gb bootcamp / 700gb osx with 485gb free, so it's not full. I have 16gb total ram and 2gb allocated to the bootcamp vm and one of four cores allocated to it.
Each time i attempt to build the vm from the bootcamp partition i delete the vm then remove the directory from , Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/. The same error occurs on each attempt.
I also manually installed the vmware tools thinking it was a driver issue, but the same results occur.
If i run NAOS i get the following output. The fact that it "cannot determine which partition has the windows disk" is odd..
diskutil list:
sudo fdisk /dev/rdisk0: The unknown id seems suspicious here..
Let me know if any more info is required and thanks in advance for any help.
