Beginners Guide -> Tell about SCSI drivers?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've been doing the Beginners guide for about 3 days ago and it was a really good how-to! :thumbup But I missed some information in the Virtual Machine Tips.

When I had completed the install of VMware Workstation 5 and was about to test my newly created unattended disc i ran into trouble. I got the "No harddiskdrive installed, Press F3 to quit" during the WinXP install. I tryed solving the problem for hours and finally i found out that I needed a SCSI driver in order to make the install complete.

The drivers was to be found at: http://www.vmware.com/download/

The driver i needed, because my host OS was WinXP Pro, was: http://www.vmware.com/download1/software/s...ver-1.2.0.0.flp

I just think it will make the how-to even better, by telling about the need for SCSI driver in order to make your virtual machine install your OS correctly. If this topic is to be written about, then tell about adding a floppydrive in the virtal-machine-program and how to mount the floppy-image.

Just a suggestion to make the guide better! B)
