Hello all,

I have 5 virtual Linux machines on VMWare but since updating the player the HDDs for the majority can no longer seem to be read. I get grub errors or kernel panics on all but Caldera v2.3 which still boots to desktop. The drives are detected but do not seem to be able to be read, past the boot loaders at least.

I recently tried out Hyper-V with all the changes it makes but have experienced BSODs and slowdown so have since removed this platform. I am aware that VMWare now works alongside Hyper-V and installs extra facilities if it detects it on the host machine but I wonder if doing this has affected my virtual machines somehow. I have also "Turned off Windows Features" Windows Subsystem for Linux & Virtual Machine Platform to no avail.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as getting these mostly old installs working was quite some effort in the first place. Thank you.
