How to open VMDK File of the Google-Chrome-OS bundle 2012? [closed]

Question

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?

Answer 1

Create a new Virtual machine in Virtual box, Select OS type Other and version Other/Unknown

On the Virtual Hard Disk screen, select "Use existing hard disk" and enter the path to the VMDK file.

It should boot your Chrome OS just fine.... BTW Chrome OS goes from VBOX bios screen to login in 7 seconds on my system!!!

Answer 2

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
