      You have started doing the "no spaces after a period" thing again in a few posts. Please be sure to make separate sentences or else the URL detection thinks that you have links all over the place.

        Are you using the term "root" to mean / or /root?

          You do not want VMs in the / path. Make a folder there called /data or /vms or something sensible. Then put the VMs there.

              You will still need to do a chown on the directory to make it owned by you.

              But again, abandon VMware Workstation. This isn't going to be a good choice for you.

                  Are you on the current Ubuntu or an old version?

                      14.04 is quite old. 14.10 and 15.04 both replaced it and 15.10 is about to release.

                          I thought that you were no longer there and doing work at home according to the other thread.
