Boot an OS with different devices under it, and they have to be changed! But they way you've commented on this makes it sounds like it makes changes to the actual structure of the vmdk such that VMware can no longer mount it!! Having just implemented several vms under vbox using vmdks, I nearly had a heart attack when I read that! Of course VirtualBox “changes the vmdks” – it’s a different product, with different virtual device emulations, and different vm tools!! Boot an OS with different devices under it, and they have to be changed!

Kunal Jain,
