Hi,
Using VCenter Converter I created a virtual machine of my actual PC which runs Windows7 64bit. When I try to add a partition on the SSD to the guest as physical hard disk it gives the error: "cannot open the disk xxx .vmdk or one of the snapshot disks it depends on".
The SSD has C and D partitions. The virtual machine files are in the D partition. Is this the reason why I can't add that partition to the guest? Does it have to be a different partition than C and D? Or is the problem related to having an IDE virtual hard disk in the guest instead scsi?
Details:
Host OS: windows 7 64 bit home premium
Guest US: windows 7 64 bit home premium
Host Motherboard: asrock h77 pro4-m
Host Primary Drive: SSD with C and D partitions
Problem: Can't use USB3 ports in guest, can't add D partition as physical drive to guest
Software I use: VMware Player, vCenter Converter
Thanks
Edit:
I added the D drive as a shared folder. It seems to work fine although I think I need to change some permission settings. I could create and edit a text file but not rename it.
