select Create new virtual machine -> select custom -> on compatibility page take defaults -> check I will install os later -> click through several pages choosing other for OS, give it a name, make sure it IS NOT in the same folder as the VMDK file. Choose bridged network.

我正在寻找一种在 VMware Player 5 中无需 vmx 文件即可播放 VMDK 文件的方法，但没有找到任何明确的教程。因此，在尝试了一段时间 VMware PLayer 5 之后，结果发现它非常简单，但不是那么直观。如下：
从 VMware Player 5 创建一个新的虚拟机； 无需安装操作系统，因为您已经拥有 VMDK（虚拟机磁盘）； 将虚拟机设置为您将要玩的操作系统（VMDK 中的操作系统）； 使用剩余的创建向导选项创建 VM 后，转到 VM 设置； 在那里您可以删除现有的硬盘并添加新的硬盘； 添加新硬盘后，将其指向现有的 VMDK 文件。
就是这样。
如果由于 VMware Player 无法锁定 VMDK 文件而导致启动虚拟机时出现问题，请从 *.vmdk 文件所在的目录中重命名/删除扩展名为 *.lck 的目录/文件。
希望这有帮助。
I was looking for a way to play VMDK files without the vmx file in VMware Player 5 and didn't find any explicit tutorial to do it. So after some time messing around with VMware PLayer 5, it turned out to be pretty simple, but not so intuitive. Here it is:
Create a new virtual machine from VMware Player 5; There's no need to install an OS, since you already have the VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk); Set the Virtual Machine to the OS you'll be playing (the one from the VMDK); After creating the VM with the remaining creation wizard options, go to your VM settings; There you can remove the existing hard drive and add a new one; Upon addition of the new hard drive, point it to your existing VMDK file.
And that's it.
If you have problems starting the VM because VMware Player can't lock the VMDK file, rename/delete the dir/files with extension *.lck from the directory where the *.vmdk file is located.
EasyVMX 很好，因为 VMWare Player 中没有 VM 创建内容（至少在版本 2 中，不确定版本 3）。您必须使用 VMWare 的其他产品之一才能做到这一点。
VMDK is a virtual disk file, what you need is a VMX file. Cruise on over to EasyVMX and have it create one for you, then just replace the VMDK file it gives you with the Cnrome OS one.
EasyVMX is good since VMWare Player has no VM creation stuff in it (at least in version 2, not sure about 3). You had to use one of VMWare's other products to do that.
WinMount provides an easiest way to mount VMDK as a virtual disk. You can read or write to the vmdk file without loading the virtual system. Here shows you how to do: http://www.winmount.com/mount_vmdk.html

在Virtual box中创建一个新的虚拟机，
选择操作系统类型“其他”和版本“其他/未知”
在“虚拟硬盘”屏幕上，选择“使用现有硬盘”并输入 VMDK 文件的路径。
它应该可以正常启动你的 Chrome 操作系统......
顺便说一句，Chrome 操作系统在我的系统上从 VBOX BIOS 屏幕到登录只需 7 秒！
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!!!
这是针对 vmwareworkstation 6.5 的，
相差相当远。
选择创建新虚拟机->
选择自定义->
在兼容性页面上采用默认值 ->
检查我稍后会安装操作系统
->单击几个页面，为操作系统选择“其他”，为其命名，确保它与 VMDK 文件不在同一文件夹中。选择桥接网络。
您现在将看到一个屏幕，要求选择磁盘，选择现有的虚拟磁盘。然后浏览并选择VMDK文件
This is for vmware workstation 6.5
It is pretty far down.
select Create new virtual machine ->
select custom ->
on compatibility page take defaults ->
check I will install os later
-> click through several pages choosing other for OS, give it a name, make sure it IS NOT in the same folder as the VMDK file. Choose bridged network.
You will now see a screen asking to select disk, select existing virual disk. then browse and select the VMDK file

VMDK是一个虚拟磁盘文件，您需要的是VMX文件。继续访问 EasyVMX 并让它为您创建一个，然后只需替换 VMDK 文件即可为您提供 Cnrome 操作系统。
EasyVMX 很好，因为 VMWare Player 中没有 VM 创建内容（至少在版本 2 中，不确定版本 3）。您必须使用 VMWare 的其他产品之一才能做到这一点。

EasyVMX is good since VMWare Player has no VM creation stuff in it (at least in version 2, not sure about 3). You had to use one of VMWare's other products to do that.
您还可以使用 VMware VDDK（虚拟磁盘开发套件）中的 vmware-mount：
http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/developer/forums/vddk
这允许您将 VMDK 文件挂载为 Windows 或 Linux 中的磁盘驱动器
you can also use vmware-mount from VMwares VDDK (Virtual Disk Development Kit):
http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/developer/forums/vddk
this allows you to mount VMDK files as disk drives in windows or linux
WinMount 提供了一种将 VMDK 挂载为虚拟磁盘的最简单方法。您可以在不加载虚拟系统的情况下读取或写入 vmdk 文件。
这里向您展示如何操作：http://www.winmount.com/mount_vmdk.html

对我来说，我的 vmdk 文件附带有一个 vmx 文件。打开 vmx 文件适用于 vmware 播放器。
For me my vmdk file was accompanied by a vmx file. Opening the vmx file worked for vmware player.
一般来说，这是打开包含VMware Player 上的一堆 vdmk 文件。
Generally, this is how you open an OS folder containing a bunch of vdmk files on VMware Player.
