Vmware fusion bites the dust

[andy5000]

Ok so i have vmware fusion installed on my macbook pro.installed my free copy of windows xp professional i get from university,no problems for a few days.an error appears when trying to load it:

Operation on file "volumes/LACIE/VMware/Windows XP Professional.vmdk" failed(argument list too long)

so i reinstall everything,get a new activation key of my university, everything works fine for a few more days then the same problem occours.
Oh and by the way its installed on a 250gb usb Lacie HD. i think i allocated 15gb to it and its not used that much.

Any help would be nice

Have you tried moving the VM to your local drive?

doesnt allow you to copy it to the internal

Try renaming your image to not contain spaces. For example, WindowsXPProfessional.vmdk

Also, you can move it, but you need to modify the vmx file manually.

ok renaming just seems to break it even more.renamed it back and its still broken.
