VMware Workstation File Size Error

Sounds like your Windows XP box is running on a FAT32 filesystem. FAT32 has a 2GB filesize limitation. You'll have to use another Virtualization host platform for your trial - perhaps one running NTFS? VMware ESXi is another good choice. You might be able to reformat a partition or add in a disk to your existing box to get an NTFS filesystem up and running that's capable of hosting files larger than 2GB in size.

 

 

(this isn't an LTM-VE issue per se - you'd get this error with any VM or file over 2GB in size on Windows XP with FAT32 disks - VMware workstation is calling the error out correctly)

 

 

it could also be that your host file system is just too full...
