I installed windows on one partition in audit mode and sysprepped after getting everything install. Rebooted into my main OS and captured the wim with

imagex /compress maximum /flags Ultimate /capture F:\ \captured\install.wim "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" /check

I keep getting this error

The thing I can't figure out is my captured OS is installed on my F drive. My main is on C drive. I have the ISO in C:\W7\ISO, the capture folder is on my C drive and the DVD folder is C:\W7\DVD. I created the ISO using WAIK. I can't figure out way I keep getting a D drive error. I am testing in VMWare. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And I am using NAOS as my primary, so the D drive is the 100 Mb System Reserve.

D: is your dvd drive of VMware. I guess you have some problem in your install.wim. You better capture your wim once again.

I get the same error if I try to do a clean install on a new partition of the computer itself, not just in VMWare.

That is because your install.wim is corrupted. As I told that you need to capture your wim once again.

Can you provide your wim info?
