No responses? Is there any more information that I could post that might
make it easier to diagnose this issue?
For what its worth, I was able to make a non-template winVM on another
computer (before I quite understood that I could make a WinTemplate) and
then restored it onto my current computer and it works well enough, but I
really think the best model for me would be using a wintemplate if
possible, and was hoping to figure out why the intstalling win7 on this
win7-x64-template isn't working?
Thoughts would be apprecaited.
