Note: If you have a Windows NT 4.0 guest with a SCSI virtual disk, you cannot addīoth an additional SCSI disk and an IDE disk to the configuration. If it is not, shut down the guest operating system normally, then click Power Off on the VMware Workstation toolbar. The virtual machine should be powered off before you begin. Use the virtual machine settings editor ( VM > Settings) to add a new virtual disk to your virtual machine. A virtual IDE drive can be stored on an IDE drive or on a SCSI drive. It does not matter whether the physical disk that holds the files is IDE or SCSI. Virtual disks are stored as files on the host computer or on a network file server. For details on connecting these devices, see Connecting to a Generic SCSI Device.Īdding Virtual Disks to a Virtual Machine Many other SCSI devices can be connected to a virtual machine using the host operating system's generic SCSI driver. VMware Workstation does not support playing DVD movies in a virtual machine. A virtual machine can read data from a DVD-ROM disc.
Any of these devices can be a virtual hard disk or DVD or CD-ROM drive.
VMware Workstation virtual machines can use up to four IDE devices and up to seven SCSI devices.
