Wuhtzu Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 HeyIm using WMware Workstation 5 for testing my unattended winxp-install-disc. I've created a new virtual machine and i've made it boot correctly from the cd-image. But when it in the installs says: Starting windows it just tells me that there wasnt found any hdd-devices installed and press F3 to quit?What can be done about that one? My "base-pc" is using a normal IDE-harddisk drive...Wuhtzu
BrandonS_Mil Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Not to sound mean or anything but did you enable a Virtual HDD....I have found myself blazing thru menus and missed that sstep a few times... i moved to Virtual PC... works better for me....
Wuhtzu Posted May 22, 2005 Author Posted May 22, 2005 Yes i have enabled the Virtual drive and ive found the problem too. Just like when you are using a SATA-disc, you need a SATA-driver to intall during the windows install. Same problem here.Im using a normal IDE-harddisk in my host computer and the host OS is WinXP Pro. Then i needed this SCSI-driver: http://www.vmware.com/download1/software/s...ver-1.2.0.0.flpThe driver is a floppy-image which can be added to your floppy-drive in WMware. Then normal procedure; Press F6 to install SCSI-driver, then press S to specify the driver.And now it works:) but thanks for the idea about the virtual hdd!Wuhtzu - sorry for asking when i found out my self!
