WMWARE Virtual machine

Is it necessesary to format the virtual machine when one wants to install winnt in a fat 16 partition? Or is wmware indifferent to the file system.

I am planning to install winnt in wmware, so I fdisked the new virtual machine, I made a 2 giga partition fat, I formated it and now I am installing winnt.

My question is can one just make the virtual machine and boot the new machine with the winnt cd and start the installation? without caring about disk size or file system?, I wonder this cos what if I want to test some kind of problem which happens only in winnt ntfs partition or fat?

Thank you.

mit engelsk er ikke så godt, forstår du dansk?

Ja, du kan roligt installere Winnt, der sker ikke noget med din HDD udenfor den virtuelle del (2GB).

It is not necessesary to format your (virtual) harddrive. When you start the VMWare virtual machine, the program will itself ask you want kind of operating systems you will install. When you reached to the installation of Winnt, there you can choose you file system and VMware will "adjust" to your settings.

And to your question, the only thing you have to do if you want to install an operating system, is to tell VMWare what kind of operating system, you will install and how big a size o a virtual harddrive you will make. Whether it is Linux, Dos, Mac or Windows. So if your installation CD is bootable, they you don´t have to worry about how the program "works", but choose you settings and the program will take care of the rest.

Be aware that installing an operating system, might require some special settings. This is written in documents that can be found at www.vmware.com.

I hope this will help your problem.
