I remember when I did this a while back that I had to modify something in the .vmx file. Can't remember what it was exactly, but it may have had something to do with a scsi line.

You might have a hardware detection issue. Does a "normal" install work? The different types of disks (scsi vs ide) in VMWare can cause issues if the unattended install is one type and the VM is another. Probably better to use VMWare converter to clone the physical machine into a VM than to use a previously existing physical unattended install... *********************** Charlie Kaiser charl...@golden-eagle.org Kingman, AZ *********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: Miguel Gonzalez [mailto:miguel_3_gonza...@yahoo.es] > Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 10:26 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: windows xp on vmware IRL less than not equal > > Hi, > > I have run an unattended installation of Windows XP on > VMware server (the latest version).
