7 According to your screenshot, you don't even have an sdb. All the
8 kernel sees is one hard disk: sda. If you do have an sdb, check in
9 VMWare that it's actually attached to the VM.

11 Also, are you sure the VM you downloaded is for the version of VMWare
12 you're actually using? Why not create the VM yourself instead of
13 downloading it?
