Now your virtualized system is 100-percent bootable.
You need to close the program to unlock the virtual disk. Otherwise you won’t be able to
connect it to a virtual machine.
Connecting virtual disks
With our program you can only create virtual disks not virtual machines. Thus to work with your virtualized system,
first you need to connect its virtual disk to a virtual machine. Actually you’ve got two options:
Connect the virtual disk to an existing virtual machine;
Connect the virtual disk to a new virtual machine.
Below you can see how to accomplish these operations with VMware Workstation. If you’ve got to do with another
virtual machine, the work algorithm will be very much alike. Anyway, to know more on the subject, please consult
documentation that comes with your virtual software.
Connecting virtual disks to an existing virtual machine
To connect a VMware Workstation virtual disk to an existing virtual machine, please do the following:
1. Open an existing VMware Workstation virtual machine.
2. Please make sure its guest OS is the same as on your virtual disk, otherwise you may face hardware
incompatibility problems.
