Why I Am Getting This Error? vmware-vmrc.exe – Drive Not Ready

By admin, February 23, 2013 5:27 pm

I googled around and couldn’t find any thing matching the error message.

Checked vCenter physical DVD-Rom (Drive Z:) is closed BUT NO CD/DVD, all VM does not have anything attached to this phyical DVD-Rom.

I am pretty sure this error message is related to starting of the vCenter server instead of the individual VM, somehow VC is trying to communicate with the physical DVD-Rom.

Anyone?

cdrom

Installing Chinese Language Pack on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

I’ve encountered a small problem when installing Chinese Language Pack (Simplified Chinese) on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Basically the downloaded exe won’t install, later I found out you need the exact lang. pack for your exact version of W2K8 (like SP1, SP2, R2, R2 SP2), for me, it’s R2 SP1, so all you need to do is to download the correct version and simply install.

Cool thing is you can change the Windows UI to Chinese completely now. No wonder there are users from Mainland using W2K8/W2K12 as their desktop OS. (ie, a SLP thing) :)
