Hey, Dennis Yup, that's what I thought; only I can't install xstools as I', presented with the following error: Unable to detect a valid platform. Do you still want to continue?
If I opt to continue the VM reboots and bluescreens with an 7B stop error (I think that's controller related). Why do the tools not detect the OS correctly?
