psyko666 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 When installing Windows 8 as virtual machine in VMWare Workstation I get this message all the time: Does someone know how to avoid this error.. I don't understand what I did wrong.. I don't get an option to chose Windows 8 in the beginning so I chose Windows 7.. I have burned the ISO to a DVD and when installing I get this: http://i.imgur.com/JmEyr.jpg and then this http://i.imgur.com/sstOx.jpg [Edit] I used PowerISO 5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted April 23, 2012 Administrator Share Posted April 23, 2012 Had faced this problem too.Open VM Menu > Settings > select Floppy Drive > Remove > OK. This should solve the problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also used to have this issue but when I went through http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2011/09/15/install_windows_8_dev_preview_in_vmware_workstation the stages of installations, it things went ok...Try it bro. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, pasting and copying to vmware doesn't work, as far as I am concern. However, you can drag the stuff from Windows 7 to windows 8 in vmware workstation (notice: doesn't work in vmware player)...Hope this helps.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyko666 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks for your reply again Technology.. :) When I dragged NIS2012 .exe from my W7 x64 to W8 virtual it doesn't allow it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have vmware tools installed onto virtual machine meaning windows 8.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyko666 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 No, I have vmware installed on my W7 and made W8 virtual.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 No, I have vmware installed on my W7 and made W8 virtual.. To make the use of useful features in vmware workstation, vmware tools is necessary for additional features. I will recommend you to download it on Windows 8. However, I not too sure will vmware tools will be able to install on Windows 8 due to the compatible issues. I also have Windows 8 installed on vmware but removed it, now I am on windows 7 to do experiment with antivirus. When I install windows 7 onto vmware, the virtual machine automatically identified vmware and try to install vmware tools...I will suggest you try clicking onto VM tab --->Install Vmware Tools for windows 8.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
