arg. i finally got vmware converter to convert my winxp install into a virtualized machine… BUT of course since i have a new ‘vmware’ profile in winxp i keep getting this stupid error.

boo. i tried to be cute and tried safe mode and safe mode + networking. the later doesn’t work AT ALL. wtf. i do not feel like talking to either the automated system or some dude that’s gonna grill me about a perfectly legitimate winxp license.

i think i might have missed a step in the p2v conversion. gotta reboot into the windows partition one last time. woot. hopefully it all works after that.
