Netwoek Type select ?NAT? mode Disk size , select the default size After finish create a new virtual machine, click ?edit vm setting? You can set more memory if you have 2G RAM or more. Also you can remove the floppy drive. click the CDROM, select ?Use ISO image? on right panel , click ?browse? and select the Windows Vista DVD ISO file. Click ?Start this virtual machine? begin to install. Pass F2 enter the VM?s CMOS settings , select ?Boot? and make the CDROM as the first boot drive. Pass F10 save and exit to continue the installing. After several minutes the Windows Vista Setup program will come , click ?install now? to begin. Type Product Key and accept the license. There is only Custom type installation , Click to continue. Now we need to select the install drive. The drive on list is unallocated space , so we need to create partition on it. Select the drive and click ?Advance? and click ?new? Enter the size of new partition then click ?Apply?. Now we have a 16GB primary Disk partition. and it need to be formatted to use. Select the partition , click ?format?. At the pop-up window click ?OK? to continue. After format we need to restat the virtual machine to continue vista installation. After virtual machine restart we need to do some same work like before , input product Key , accept the license , select the install partition . and you will find that the ?next? button can be select now. Click it continue Vista installation and from here all setup step same with the normal installing. And don?t forget to install the VM tools after Vista finished installing. sorry for my poor english and hope this can bring you some help.

Leddy Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Crap, because Aero Glass doesn't work in VMware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Great tutorial! It took me so much itime to get one of the builds run into VMware...! But yeah, last time I tried Vista in VMware, I noticed that VMware didn't natively support the video cards... so I was stuck with a VGA something rather than my 6600GT :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
