Setup tries to initialize but says "cannot create a temporary directory" and says I have to create an MS-DOS partition to set up Windows. Nothing boots, but I run scandisk (no problems found) and then change directories to D and type SETUP.EXE. No corresponding device is available on the host." Since I have no need of a floppy (and my laptop doesn't have one), I select NO for attempting a search for a floppy.Ĥ) I come to the Windows Me Startup Menu and select 2 (start computer w/ CD-ROM support). I try creating the VM again: bridged networking, disk size 8 GB, I start the machine with the Me bootable CD in the drive.ģ) First error message: "Cannot connect virtual device floppy0. The machine is created and here are the problems I am having starting from the bootable CD:ġ) DOS starts up and says "missing operating system" - I am guessing that the virtual CD drive is wrong (a problem I've had before) so I power off the virtual machine and re-open it, changing the CD-ROM from 'auto detect' to the only option it gives me, "E." (I don't know why it doesn't list D as an option.)Ģ) same problem - missing OS. I currently have one XP machine working and have been trying to set up an Me machine. I have used Workstation for years and never had a problem creating various Windows virtual machines and installing the OS's: 98SE and XP, perhaps Me as well.
