![]() So you can either reverse engineer a package from the oem*.inf file or install from one of the older VMware Tools of Windows ISO Installer packages like ". ![]() However the Driver for the "VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter" is installed and that is evident not only by the description on the NIC itself but also by the presence of an oem*.inf file in the C:\WINDOWS\inf" folder containing the installation information for it and the header shows " vmware-nic.inf". " VMware Tools of Windows ISO Installer Package it only created the hgfs folder under "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\" folder. Okay, somewhere along the way VMware changed its installations routines of the Drivers in VMware Tools and while the previously mentioned installation path does exist in the particular Windows XP Virtual Machine I looked in nonetheless a fresh install of VMware Tools using the ". Now, where on this planet are the NIC drivers? Is there a way to add the VMware drivers to an NG recovery disk so that I can use it or what else exists for backing up a VM to make it easy to pull off files and folders when necessary or to completely rebuild the virtual disks? I could create specific NG recovery disks from within NG on the VMs but it doesn't seem to think VMware drivers are missing and if it did, I can't find them anywhere in the VMware Player/Tools installation to add them to the disk I have not tested a restore on Vista/7 yet but an NG recovery boot does see the network and local drives so I presume it is XP specific. My problem is that when I boot the 2 XP VMs from the NG recovery disk, NG does not have the drivers for the VMware NIC or VMware SCSI so firstly I cannot get at the backups via the network and secondly, if I put them onto a USB drive so that I can see them, NG doesn't see any disks to restore to. ![]() I'm using VMware Player 4.0.1 on 2 x XP, 1 x Vista and 1 x Win7 VMs, all backing up over the network using NG from within each VM. I have been using Norton Ghost incremental backup sets to back up and restore my physical Windows machines for years and thought it would be a good way to back up my VMs as well.
