it says that it cant find a drive? i chose vista as the virtual machine, do i need to format the drive as ntfs first with a vista disc? ( i dont have a copy of 6801 )

update: i used my vista disc to create a ntfs drive but win7 still says it cant detect a drive? ( im using a vista non service pack version )

are you just trying to boot the vhd? or actually have an iso of it? cause you can't just run the vhd

no, install the iso file, i found a the answer: http://runwin7fromusb.blogspot.com/

the drivers they supply are in a zip which is password protected so i found the drivers my self: http://rapidshare.com/files/171334583/L ... .28.03.zip

if i type Select Disk 0 it says invalid drive? and as for the scsi driver,it finds it but it wont install it ?

update: im installing it in virtual pc 2007, just have to wait!

Always select CUSTOM in the VM create program.
And select the IDE harddrive, in normal mode, or quick mode it creates and SCSI drive that's why you cant find it.

Personally I always create an IDE drive.

thats weird, win98/2000/xp/vista will install in a default vm?, anyways, thanks for the info.

I had the same problem with VMWare Workstation 6 but when I upgrade to VMWare Workstation 6.5, Windows 7 install just fine.
