Viewed 250994

As you all know, Google-Chrome-OS is released in VMWare Image File, VMDK.

I've downloaded it , however, I couldn't open it with VMWare Work Station and VMWare Player.

Also I've tried to open with Virtual Box in Ubuntu.

Thus, How could I get it?

This is for vmware workstation 6.5

It is pretty far down.

select Create new virtual machine -> select custom ->
on compatibility page take defaults ->
check I will install os later -> click through several pages choosing other for OS, give it a name, make sure it IS NOT in the same folder as the VMDK file. Choose bridged network.

You will now see a screen asking to select disk, select existing virual disk. then browse and select the VMDK file

WinMount provides an easiest way to mount VMDK as a virtual disk. You can read or write to the vmdk file without loading the virtual system. Here shows you how to do: http://www.winmount.com/mount_vmdk.html
