Internal Error

Open ghost opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

I'm sorry, but when I try to open the Boot Camp VM, it just tells me "Internal Error". Any ideas?

That's not a whole lot to go on.

  • Is your boot camp partition on your main drive?
  • Anything in the log files (they should be in your Boot Camp.vmwarevm folder on your desktop)
  • If nothing there, is there anything in the Console app in macOS?

Sorry for being a bit inept, but I see no Boot Camp.vmwarevm folder. All that was created is Boot Camp.krqVv2.vmwarevm, which is what gives me the error if I open it.

Opening it also damages my partition (i.e. the "Boot Camp" disk disappears from Finder and when I restart and switch to Windows, it has to repair itself).

When I open it, this is what comes up in the Console app: https://pastebin.com/raw/fjwxUneY

Boot Camp.krqVv2.vmwarevm is what I was referring to, if you right-click on that there will be an option in the menu to "Show Package Contents". Click that and a finder window will open. In there you may find some log files.

The disk disappearing from finder is normal, that's Fusion unmounting it before it tries to boot your VM.

And a couple of more questions:

  • What version of macOS are you running?
  • What version of VMWare Fusion are you running?

Hmm, all I see are these:
