O.P. Installing Windows Vista on VMWare
Hello.

I tried installing windows Vista beta 2 on VMWare 4.
This is the configuration I used:

OS: Microsoft Windows Longhorn (experimental)
RAM: 512 MB
HDD: IDE 0:0 10 GB
Bridged Network

Now, the setup can see the HDD, can click next, but after some secs when the installation starts, this message appears: "Setup was unable to locate attached hard drive suitable for holding temporary setup files"
I tried searching google, it says that I need an 8+ GB HDD to install it...
There is also this thread on VMWare's forum: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threa...0&start=0&tstart=0

Someone says that if you format the HDD with Windows Server 2k3 it will work, but I don't know...

Can anyone help?

By the way, I will try and upgrade to the latest version soon and see what happens...

Thank you... :)
