I am new to VMware player. I downloaded an OS ready for VMware player, which turned up to be a .vmdk.
I am using VMware player 5.0.1 for Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.
How will I open the file?

To use exiting .vmdk file(-s) in VMPlayer, you should do several things:

1. Create new Virtual Machine, choose "I will install operating system later..."
2. Select prefered Guest OS
3. Customize other guest hardware settings
4. After creating this new VM, go "Edit Virtual machine settings"
5. Add new Hard disk, on the screen "Select a disk", select item "Use an exiting virtual disk" and then select your .vmdk file.
