I'm running VMware 4 on RH 9 without any problems. I've several virtual machines. RH Severn, Win2K, Win2003 Server. > The steps: > > 1.- I've installed Windows XP in /dev/hda1 Why did you do that?

Sure....you have set up a dual boot environment. Forget about what you have done in installing XP in /dev/hda1. VMWware doesn't look there as it creates its own set of "virtual disks". What you want to do is follow the documentation for VMware. Basically.... 1. Boot RH 9. 2. Install VMware from the RPM's. 3. Run the VMware configuration util. 4. Put your XP CD in your CD drive. 4. Start VMware. 5. VMware will (after you install your license I think) prompt you to create a new virtual machine. 6. Follow the prompts and install XP from there....
