How to open VMDK File of the Google-Chrome-OS bundle 2012?


As you all know, Google-Chrome-OS is released in VMWare Image File, VMDK.

I've downloaded it , however, I couldn't open it with VMWare Work Station and VMWare Player.

Also I've tried to open with Virtual Box in Ubuntu.

Thus, How could I get it?


Solution

  • Create a new Virtual machine in Virtual box, Select OS type Other and version Other/Unknown

    On the Virtual Hard Disk screen, select "Use existing hard disk" and enter the path to the VMDK file.

    It should boot your Chrome OS just fine.... BTW Chrome OS goes from VBOX bios screen to login in 7 seconds on my system!!!
