Hi folks,
so I was following the directions listed here:
http://www.squidoo.com/use-existing-...apps-in-ubuntu
At the point where it says to configure the IDE drivers to work with VMWare, I went into device manager and selected IDE/ATAPI controllers... I changed the settings for both Primary and Secondary IDE Channels to the setting recommended in the guide (creating a new VMWare profile, of course). I stopped at that point (have not continued) and tried to boot into my windows installation. It won't boot, period... It gets past BIOS, then the windows XP logo flashes briefly, then a blue screen with some text (flashes too quickly, I can't read it) then the computer reboots.
Thank God I can still use my linux install so I can backup all my documents. (they live on a separate NTFS partition).
What to do???
EDIT: Fixed it. Can boot into windows.
