Windows 8 - Looks really awsome

VMware workstation gives me an error saying it cant find CD/DVD device drivers. I was using the link that you provided earlier as well. One thing of note, I do get the Windows setup screen, click on install now, but no license agreement pops up. Maybe that is the problem?

After that I get the CD/DVD device driver error, and cant seem to get out of it.

EDIT: As for your last question, how do I find that out? Never mind figured that out, and yes it does support that.

 

Hi Trooper,
I was just about to post the link for Hardware Virtualization from MS, but it seems you already found out. But still I would like you to check this link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/configure-bios.aspx

Edit: Just to be sure, are you selecting win 7 in vmware or other operating systems?

 

Yeah it says my processor is supported. The pc Im running it on is a Win 7 X32 with SP1 and is fully up to date.

I am selecting Win 7 in vmware for sure.

 

Hi Trooper,
So your processor is 64bit bit right if it has VT? Then why have you 32bit win 7 installed? Maybe I didn't understand, please forgive me.

No my machine is 32 bit win 7. Im trying to install the 32 bit version of windows 8.

Nothing seems to work, keep getting the CD/DVD error message. Dunno why.

 

I maybe wrong, but 32bit processor does not support VT. In your case the processor might be 64bit, because Windows 8 requires VT enabled.

Have you checked your bios, whether it is enabled or not?

I have tried with it both enabled and disabled and still no go.

What gives? I can run other systems in a vm but not Windows 8.

 

Please try this link http://communities.vmware.com/thread/328235

Pretty much most of that stuff there is not applicable. I've tried everything.

 

And while creating the new VM are you selecting "I will install the operating system later".

One more thing try to re-download the iso image again and check the Sha 1 hash if it matches or not.

If this doesn't work, you should post your problem in vmware forum.

Ziaul

Edit: Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Re: Windows 8

I'd be careful what "tweaks" you use on a rolling OS. A lot is going to change, and big changes can come in a single update... you don't know what you're going to break.

Re: Windows 8

Same old junk of a bloated OS in a new wrapper for suckers as usual. Good job M$, how much more bloat can you add, guess the limit hasn't been reached yet.

Is that your experience after trying out W8 ?

No, he is just a linux troll, venting off his frustration because of this thread (https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=306843 )

Spoken by a true M$ troll and yes, I have tried out Redmond's poor copy of Android wannabe.

Consistency to post on Linux forums even though not having the foggiest is particular specialty of troll supreme.

 

Re: Windows 8

Saying Windows 8 is a android wannabe, is like saying WP7 is a android wannabe. This will be my last post towards you because I don't want to escalate it any further.

Re: Windows 8

I seem to recall a certain someone ranting about how they didn't come to Windows threads and troll...and look who showed up *pretends not to point at Linuxforall*

 

Re: Windows 8

He's getting revenge for all you meanies (or is trolls the new hip word?).

 

Re: Windows 8

I don't know, considering his last rant at me in the Unix forum, I think he likes making up new words and/or using big words to sound intelligent but hasn't found anything suitable for troll yet.

 

This stuff is really getting sad

 

Haven't you heard? IF you use a microsoft product you're a troll.

 

So true, but Dee does have a point. The guy is just a sad little fanboy who doesn't really deserve to be replied to, so why bother? We called him out, what else can he or us say that wouldn't just be saying the same thing over again really? I expect all these little jabs to be gone soon, which is fine by me. Let's get back to Windows 8.
