xp pro vm vmscsi.sys not found

[fabricesforzani]

Hello must be easy problem

I just created a xp vm (with buslogic scsi controler) and i connect my floppy (/vmimages/floppies/vmscsi-1.2.0.2.flp) to th flp files

I power on my vm and type on F6 then specified the vmware scsi controler driver . I format the disk with ntfs all ok but :

After when xp start to copy file I have a message telling me that he cannot copy the vmscsi.sys file !!!

Check if the status of the floppy is connected and connected on power on , these options should be check in edit settings of the vm.

Thanks,

Samir

Re-connect the floppy and try again. I've seen this a couple of times. It's usually a connection to the floppy that is the issue. Once I deleted the VM and started again. It's just a pain building an XP VM for the first time (until you have a template).
