Problem installing QNX 4.25 on vmware workstation 7.0  
Hi,

I have problem after installation. I have selected 2Gb virtual hard disk IDE, 512bm RAM, IDE CD/DVD drive, floppy auto 
detect, Network adapter NAT, Sound card auto detect,
Display Auto detect.

When I reboot the virtual machine it just hangs up with ........dots.
What is going on I tried to install the virtual machine twice it gives the same problem. Am I doing something wrong here
. Is there any other process to install the QNX 4.25 on vmware.  

But on the other hand I have installed the QNX Neutrino 6.3 in vmware it works absolutely fine. Because I am working on 
QNX 4.25 I need this to work for me.

Thank you,
Kumar

Its been a while since I installed QNX 4 in Vmware (and it jsut worked last
time I did it).  Off the top of my head the easiest thing to try is using a
smaller virtual disk.  I don't recall what the limits were but it is easy
enough to try and see if that makes a difference.

Usually when you get just the dots it means the disk geometry is different
between what the bios (virtual bios in this case) thinks and what QNX
thinks.

Hope that helps,

Rick..

Thanks Rick..

Using a 1Gb virtual disk or 2Gb virtual disk it makes no difference. And I dont know what other settings to change and 
try. 

Or is there any other virtual machine software that I can use to install QNX4.25 on mu laptop.

Thanks,
Kumar

I would see if you can change any of the virtual bios settings to see if
that helps.  If not, you can try QEMU as an alternative virtual machine - I
have not tried it with QNX4 but it does work with QNX6.
