Import/open the new virtual machine by double clicking the .vmx file. You might see an error message in VMware Fusion saying: “Cannot connect the virtual device ide1:0 because no corresponding device is available on the host. Do you want to to try to connect this virtual device every time you power on the virtual machine?” Press “No” and it won’t be shown again.

Inside the HoneyDrive virtual machine, open Terminator (on the desktop) and type the following to uninstall the VirtualBox Guest Additions:

$ sudo aptitude purge -P virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11
$ sudo reboot

Once HoneyDrive is running again, click on “Virtual Machine” –> “Install VMware Tools” from the menu. This will mount a virtual disk with VMware Tools. Open Terminator again and type:

$ cp /media/VMware\ Tools/VMwareTools-<version>.tar.gz ~/
$ tar zxvf VMwareTools-<version>.tar.gz
$ cd vmware-tools-distrib
$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d
$ sudo reboot
