I have a problem that i can't seem to find a solution to, however. My pointer keeps jumping out of the VM back to the host every time I try click on something. Anyone have any thoughts on what could be wrong? I’m new at this, and not very computer savvy, but this lazy way sure made things easier!

After poking around a little, I found that you may need the SCSI Disk Drivers found at http://www.vmware.com/download/server/drivers_tools.html Also see http://pubs.vmware.com/guestnotes/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=guestnotes&file=guestos_winxp.html Sadly, this didn't work for me, but maybe someone else can use it to find a solution...?

When I go to install the OS (XP Black) it says no hard drive is found. I noticed the SCSI HD icon at the bottom. Do i need to load a 3rd party SCSI driver to make this work?
