![]() If you are familiar with PC BIOSes, you can fix the problem using the VMware VM's BIOS as that screen notes, you can get into its configuration menu using F2, and then you'd navigate over to the boot-order menu, and put the CD-ROM drive (which is how it'll see your Mac's physical CD/DVD drive) ahead of the hard disk. ![]() That boot order is the default for many physical computers, and for VMware virtual machines as well. ![]() So, if your PC's boot order is set to try booting from the hard disk before trying the CD/DVD, attempts to redo the installation will fail you'll just wind up looking at a black screen every time. This happens on physical PCs too: if an install of Windows gets aborted while it is in progress, you can wind up with a hard disk that is bootable but not runnable. (See the "vm-in-bios-screen" link just above.) If powering on a VM does not result in this screen flying by, that's either a bug or a corrupted installation of Fusion.Īssuming you do see that screen fly by, and then you get a black screen, that suggests that your virtual hard disk contains an incomplete (aborted) installation of Windows. Just to be clear: when we say "the BIOS screen," we mean the screen shown in the attached screenshot. I'm not a dev myself, but I'll try to offer some help.
