ISO boot from FAT/NTFS/USB (GRUB.exe, grldr from boot.ini)

[Capricorny]

Hi Capricorny,
Did you just try to edit the vmk771.vmx file and replace virtualHW.version = "12" by virtualHW.version = "10" ?
I did not try your exact configuration but this should be ok. Could you please let us know if this works ?
Thanks,
Gilles

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this out as soon as I get time for it, and report the outcome. I also tried an ordinary install of 7.7.1 under Workstation 10.X, using flash-knoppix. Seems to work fine, but I won't go further along that line until I have a remastered ISO to start from. Knoppix ran just fine with the 64-bit kernel. The host, Debian Jessie, runs with 3.16 kernel as default.
