VirtualBox and vmdk vmx files [closed]
VMDK/VMX are VMWare file formats but you can use it with VirtualBox:
- Create a new Virtual Machine and when asks for a hard disk choose "Use an existing hard disk"
- Click on the "button with folder and green arrow image on the combo box right" which opens Virtual Media Manager, it looks like this (you can open it directly pressing CTRL+D on main window or in File > Virtual Media Manager menu)...
- Then you can add the VMDK/VMX hard disk image and setup it for your virtual machine :)
Actually, for the configuration of the machine, just open the .vmx file with a text editor (e.g. notepad, gedit, etc.). You will be able to see the OS type, memsize, ethernet.connectionType, and other settings. Then when you make your machine, just look in the text editor for the corresponding settings. When it asks for the disk, select the .vmdk disk as mentioned above.
