Choosing and Installing Guest Operating Systems

Installation Steps

If you want to run Windows XP Home Edition or Professional in a virtual machine, be

sure you have a full installation CD for the operating system.

Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and

configured a new virtual machine.

Installing the Guest Operating System

1. Insert the installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing the guest operating system.

3. If you are using the virtual BusLogic SCSI driver downloaded from the VMware

Web site or the LSI Logic SCSI driver downloaded from the LSI Logic Web site,

you must take some special steps at this point in the installation process. As the

Windows XP installer loads, press the F6 key. This allows you to select the

additional SCSI driver required for installation. Press S to specify the additional

driver. After you specify the SCSI driver, press Enter to continue with setup.

4. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical machine.

VMware Tools

Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see the

manual for your VMware product or follow the appropriate link in the knowledge base

article at www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=340.

Enabling Sound in a Windows XP Guest

VMware GSX Server: The sound device is disabled by default and must be enabled

with the virtual machine control panel (VM > Settings) after the operating system has

been installed. To set up the virtual machine to play sound, see Configuring Sound in

the GSX Server documentation.

Known Issues

Product Activation

The Microsoft Windows XP product activation feature creates a numerical key based

on the virtual hardware in the virtual machine where it is installed. Changes in the

configuration of the virtual machine may require you to reactivate the operating

system. There are some steps you can take to minimize the number of significant

changes.

• Set the final memory size for your virtual machine before you activate Windows

XP. When you cross certain thresholds — approximately 32MB, 64MB, 128MB,
