dead0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 hello all, need a bit of advice please! i have an athlon x2 4200+ running on an asrock motherboard, with 1gb ddr400 ram & running with windows xp sp2 32bit. i'm trying to nlite & then install x64 in vmware for testing before doing a proper install. everytime i run the iso in vmware, i keep getting an error saying that it can't find the hard disk for the temporary install files. if i run the original x64 cd or the exact image mounted in alcohol, that installs fine. then, if i copied the entire cd to my desktop & recreated the image using nlite1.2rc or ultraiso mount in alcohol, i get the errors again. any help would be appreciated?!!! i do have one sata drive which i only use to store mp3s & nothing else!

Puggsley Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Don't you not need a x64 host OS to run a x64 Guest OS. I know you do with Microsofts Virtual PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 No, VMware requires a 64bit processor (most newer ones work as x64 under an x86 OS). As to the CD issue, what type of virtual hard disk are you using (SCSI or IDE), and is it preallocated? I've found that creating preallocated IDE discs works better than SCSI in VMware Workstation 5.x and Server 1.0x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
