VMware Player Unrecoverable Error

[jackwalsh20]

When trying to run Windows 7 on VMware Player on Backtrack 4 (LInux DIstro), I get an unrecoverable error. The error occurs as I load the virtual machine.

Three things - Backtrack 4 is running off a USB. (sdb1)

- The ISO for Windows 7 (which i'm virtualizing) is on a 1TB external hard drive (sdc1)

- The virtual machine is being saved onto sdc1

ERROR MESSAGE

MORE SYMPTOMS::

I recieve "this virtual machine is busy" after I click ok on the previous error.

This happens on multiple different vm's.

[continuum]

when using Backtrack from USB as the host your memory configuration is critical.

The problem maybe that your /tmp is too small.

It might be necessary to change the memory settings.

Please use menu > edit > preferences and set the memory to "fit all memory ..."

Then restart VMplayer and post aother vmware.log

I'm sorry, but I cannot find the option. I went Virtual Machine - Virtual Machine Settings - Memory however there is no option to fit all memory
