Yes I have set that. Now I am trying to create a System image from the windows machine. I am using Windows 7's backup feature to create the image. It creates a system image in vhd format. I am now converting it into vmdk format to check if it can work with VMWare too. I am using WinImage for this. Thanks, Narendran. On Sat, Jun 8, 2013 at 2:42 PM, Luis A.
