I have several files stored on a virtual machine that I am running on my PC, I want to simply transfer them over to the C drive on the PC however not sure how to. There is no email enabled and the virtual machine will not pick up any memory stick.
Any help is appreciated.
In VMWare you can use Shared Folders between the host (your PC) and the guest machines.
For this to work, you have to install in your guest machine VMWare Tools. Once installed, you can configure Shared Folders.
If this doesn't work, you could always connect using a network shared folder.

Cent-OS is installed on hyper-v virtual machine. I want to re-install same OS or different OS on same machine without deleting the data. Is it possible through Powershell?
I want to change my operating system from Windows to Ubuntu.
But I don't want to lose my Virtualbox. Does anyone have an idea if this is possible?

You can export your VMs in the OVA/OVF format using VirtualBox (File->Export Appliance, File->Import Appliance). This way you can get a fairly portable VM and back it up on some external hard drive. Then when you replace your host operating system from Windows to Ubuntu, you can import the VMs from the OVA/OVF file back to your Ubuntu host.
It may be a duplicate question but i could not find it anywhere.
Anyway, my goal to install operating system(both linux and windows) programatically on a virtual machine running on vmware hosts.
Although my search, I am quite lost about where to start.
Is there a framework or project you can suggest?
You could use templates; i.e. create a VM, install the Linux distribution of your choice and make the VM a template. Then don't create VMs but deploy the template.
Alternatively, google for the Linux distribution of your choice and something like "network installation". You'll need a DHCP server and probably a TFTP and/or web server.

Creating VMware Virtual Machine Templates
Try having a look at Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/. It allows you to install/uninstall a predefined VM from the command line.
I have installed the VMware Player to use the CentOS 6.2 on my machine having Windows XP operating system. When I am using the CentOS , I am not able to access the internet . But the sites hosted by our organization's intranet are accessible.
Also , I am able to access the internet and intranet when I am accessing it in the XP environment.
I have not created any user for the CentOS and it is avaialbe to me when I am selecting any instance of the CentOS through the VMware Player.
Looking for Help!
I had this problem too, and it seems the solution is to modify
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
So that the line reads
ONBOOT=yes instead of the default ONBOOT=no
Then restart your computer, or run ifup eth0 and you should have internet working. Since the default is to have no network, it can be tricky to find the solution if you haven't got another computer to look it up from!
I'm running VPC 2007 and the OS is windows 3.1 I need to copy a C++ compiler from my real computer to the virtual one. How do I do this, it doesn't seem to read the .iso that I made. I don't have a floppy drive since I'm using a laptop.
You can drag files from your PC and drop them on the VPC. Windows 3.1 supported drag & drop, so (in principle) this should work.
In VPC 2007, click on the yellow folder in the lower left hand corner of the frame around your guest OS. This will let you map a folder on the host to a drive letter on the guest. Then in the guest you can access the mapped drive as if it were a network drive.
