[NTLUG:Discuss] VMware help!

[Alex Coker]

If you can help, I'd be eternally grateful. I have Vmware 2.0.3 (I think) 
and it won't start due to a writelock on the .dsk file. I've tried their 
tech. Support, but they haven't responded in two days.

Do you know how to get rid of this writelock without ruining the disc 
image?

I've tried 'rm -f' from root, but every time I start Vmware the lock 
comes back. Vmware dialog states that the VM was shutdown improperly, but 
I think I would remember if it had, and that Vmware would remove it, but 
it doesn't.

Any help is appreciated. I don't want to re-install the Win95 again.
