[tlinux-users:08335] Re: Windows using Vmware server and recovery DVD. Any tries?

Oh, I didnt knew about the ac adaptor thing.  Better go to the support
agency here in Panama.
But, I meant another thing with the MEMORY ALLOCATION ERROR.  I meant that
when I try to boot the recoveryDVD from VMware, it kept giving me that
error.  Hence, I've not been able to install Windows in my Ubuntu.  What
could that be?  Any ideas?  Im kinda frustrated with that.
