VMWare Fusion: How do I combine muliple numbered vmdk files into a -flat.vmdk file?


I'm on Mac 10.6.6 using VM Ware Fusion 3.1.2. I created a Windows 7 image, but when I examine the files that make up the image, there are 21 "extent" files -- e.g. files with names like

Windows 7-s001.vmdk Windows 7-s002.vmdk Windows 7-s003.vmdk ...

Ultimately I want to convert this to something that an be used by VirtualBox, and so to do that, I need to get a single vmdk (-flat.vmdk) file. Does anyone know how to generate a single file given the multiple files I have now?

Thanks, - Dave


Solution

  • Virtual Machine - Settings - Hard Disk -> Uncheck "Split into 2GB files" and press Apply :)
