boot camp installer disk could not be found

In a Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste the following command, as is, and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine meta data. Note: These steps assume you have a Apple Default install of Windows and a Default VMware Fusion Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine and if you have modified the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine to add additional Hard Drives either Virtual or RAW Disk then do not use these directions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine Package first.Ģ. Start the Mac and boot to the Mac Desktop and then do the following before running Fusion again. Shutdown Windows so it turns the Mac off. Reboot the Mac an go into Windows on the Boot Camp partition by pressing the Option key when you hear the startup tone. Shutdown Fusion even if you have to Force Quit it. The problem is now when I try to launch the Bootcamp install as a VM Fusion pops up a window that says: 'VMWare Fusion is preparing your Bootcamp Partition to run as a virtual machine.'Īccording to the window - this should only take a few minutes, however its now been over 12 hours with no change in status. There is no such path as 'Library > VMWare > Virtual Servers' so who knows what you deleted!

So I deleted the configuration from Library > VMWare > Virtual Servers and re-installed Fusion.

Problem is when I tried to load it up in VMWare it told me the disk could not be found. So, I had to re-install my bootcamp partition of XP.
