Morning Konstantins,

Firstly, I am far from a VMware expert and I am not certain I fully understand the question.

However, your Virtual Server is a real server as far as the OS you have installed and the programs you are running on it.

With this in mind, I would have thought you could use any of the commercially available software to clone a physical PC (Norton Ghost, perhaps).

To go from V2P your will need third party software.

try powerconvert from platespin.

I`am sorry if not correct to write my request.

But the last answer by , i`am try ti this powerconvert.

Yes, i want covert vmware to physical computer.

And i try by Norton GHOST, but how to mount HDD or Extrnal HDD where i must save my ghost file?

If you don't have VMware Workstation download it (using a trial license) and add the VM to inventory.

Configure the VM to boot from CD and mount a BartPE image (with ghost installed)

Mount a network share

Place the created om the network share

When the image is done boot the physical server with BartPE and restore the ghost from the network location

I'm not a Linux expert so how Linux will responde to the new HW i don't know.

But I would use PowerConvert for this operational if I was you, they know how to handle the convertion, and you should be able to obtain a trial license.

U found the progra with name PING PartImage is Not Ghost it`s good for Lilnux system.

I have quastion.

I add to the virual machine the the physical HDD.

But when i run this PING or (try NORTON GHOST with Windows XP) some works, but i can`t see my *.gho or image file.

In the virtual machine i see, but realy on my physical hdd NOT.

May be i`am not correct to add this physical HDD. And IF I add this physical hdd, can i see from VMware what for example i copy or some others.

And else. The maybe stupid question. I add my physical hdd to virtual machine, run the WIN XP SP2. OK i see my HDD with my file, but when i

create the simple 11.txt on virtual PC, I DONT SEE IT ON THE MY LOCAL HDD ON PHYSICAL PC.

Best Regards Konstantins

I believe I understand what you're saying. Assuming that you can not use a ip ghost session, the easiest thing to do would probably be to create a second disk for the vm, have ghost store the .gho files on the second drive, then turn the VM back on, use the host-guest file sharing to copy the file out of the VM (or you could use cifs/nfs/ftp/scp/etc, or burn it to a dvd/cd)
