The setup of this VMWare actually very easy, with a couple of got chas...

  1. Use the Default "Microsoft Windows 2003 Standard Edition (32-bit)";
  2. Make your HD Capacity at least 65GBs (recommend 70GBs);
  3. Make the HD a single file (File Options > "Allocate all space now");
  4. Make the HD a IDE Drive (Virtual Device Node > Adapter: IDE 0 > Devise: 0);

Then sit back and wait, which takes about an hour...

Do not forget to run Windows Update after the base install.

NOTES:

  • If you do NOT set the "Virtual Device Node" to IDE, the Setup program will ERROR saying it can not find a disk.
  • If you allocate a disk size lower then 65GBs you will get an Error message during the GUI setup installation.

Hope this helps!

- Andrew
