    Hello, been trying to get my hands on a copy of Silica too :) Let me know if you will be willing to share it publicly or just with me :)

    Ok, now you have vmdk parts. You need to combine them into one file to import it into VM.

    See the following:
    http://technonstop.com/convert-multiple-vmdks-to-one
    https://xiaopan.co/forums/threads/import-convert-vmware-image-to-parallels.444/
    http://sanbarrow.com/vmdk-basics.html

    Also if you can give us some file sizes too, we might be able to assist you further.

    Be careful where you post as this is a support request. Thank you and welcome to Xiaopan Forums :)

    Garcia, it is easy!
    Create normal Ubuntu machine. After that remove the hard disk u added first and add a new one hard disk from existing using Ubuntu 64-bit.vmdk
