      Hi,
      I want to ask if anyone has encountered this issue. If I use XO to download VDI directly in VMDK format, the content is corrupted. VMware Workstation does not see the NTFS partition on the disk; instead it shows it as a RAW partition and the disk is unreadable.

      I tried downloading the same VDI as VHD and then converting it to VMDK using qemu-img, and this disk worked in VMware WS without any problems.

      Could there be an issue somewhere in the export process when exporting directly to VMDK?

      XO 99312 and 280c0 tested.

        @abudef What steps are you performing to export the VDI as a VMDK?
