    I'll run the VM and try again, I haven't been able to get the tools to install either.

    A while ago I had made a video on how to install the tools for Mint Mate. Maybe that helps.




    These are the Mint Terminal commands you will need. Note, you have to extract vmware-tools-distrib to the desktop.

    cd Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib
    sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d

    Thanks Wolfgang, I was missing the space between .pl and -d although even with the tools installed the 1920x1080 resolution isn't available, even after reboot.

    EDIT: It's now working after manually resizing the window then going full screen. Wolfgang, you are a star!

    Go full screen where the arrow points and see what happens.

    The main issue is a combination of a slow HDD (both source and target are only 5400 rpm drives, but an SSD upgrade is planned for the near future) and a LOT of installed games (originally installed to test compatibility with 8/8.1, and not yet removed). The actual recovery process is extremely simple, and much faster than a clean re-install. Without the games, recovery times are in the ball-park you indicate.

    Yes, all data is on a separate drive(s), and is also backed-up separately as well.

    Anyway, I'll download a copy of the latest build next time I visit my friend with the unlimited connection, and give it a look-see.

    Oh, I hadn't gone away, just haven't been online much lately because my connection was slowed. When one has to struggle to open an email, it makes chatting on forums a whole lot of no fun. *Sad
