I did have the same problem with the messages: No bootable device was detected PXE-E53:No boot filename received PXE-M0F:Exiting Intel PXE ROM Operating System not found Solution for me was to change the following in the vmx file: ide1:0.startConnected = "TRUE" When Windows7 was installed, I did not get the ethernet adapter working. The tip from DNOIZ was the golden one for me, Thanks a lot!!! (change LAN interface to ethernet0.virtualdev = “e1000?) My host system is Vista.

A couple of changes to the predefined VMX: 1) Network: The default is a NAT'd network connection, which will most likely not be what most users want. Put the line below in your VMX: ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged" This will cause the VM to pull an IP via DHCP from your router and on your local network. This will help to eliminate problems with Samba shares etc.. 2) Priority In addition to the changes previously mentioned you will get better performance with the following added to your VMX: priority.grabbed = "high" priority.ungrabbed = "high" This will provided near physical performance. Only use on adequate systems or your host os may not keep up. For Larry and the USB issues:
