Ok. If anyone has idea how to get a working image from Vista (mrimg to vhd, > to vmdk: i guess vmdk should work with VmPlayer...) with VMPlayer please let me know

I supposes that evef I load an Acronis image directly into VmPlayer...then Vista will NOT start...

but Macrium tell me that it is possible by enabling the mass srotage driver in VmPlayer...perhaps macrium is wrong....

I have to search another VM...perhaps MS PC 2007...
