You should be able to edit the location of the vmdk file via the VMware GUI, but you probably won't be able to do that unless the VM is shut down first. The general steps would be: 1) Shut down your VM 2) Move the vmdk file to a new location 3) Tell VMware the new location of the vmdk file 4) Start up your VM. Those are the general steps; you can find the supported methods for your specific platform in the <a href="http://www.vmware.com/pdf/VirtualDiskManager.pdf" title="Virtual Disk Manager User's Guide" rel="nofollow">Virtual Disk Manager User's Guide</a>. Regards, John P. Hi Tokesan,

I have one question related to VM. If I install on a VM that is on my Vista internal secondary drive "D" (Vista OS is on "C")would I be able to remove it and make it an external drive? That is by placing it in an external case. This may not be your area but if you know the answer great. Thanks a bunch Hi

You should be able to transfer the VM from host system X to host system Y just by moving those files. The only requirement is that system Y must run the same virtualization software as host system X. If you have installed EBS directly on a host system, *not* in a virtual machine, and you want to transfer EBS to a new host, you need to follow the cloning procedures described in the Oracle Applications Concepts Guide. Does this help? If I have misunderstood your question, let's try again and I will try to be more clear. :) Regards, John P. Hello Nadine,

How can we manage the files from the system of installation to any other one? As unplugging it from and X system to later an Y system. Is it that the installation is done on the Host system (OS) and then the machine is created on the hard disk? Or we can install directly on the hard disk.
