KG's 11 dimensional retrospection

When I tried to install the Windows Home Server 2008 (Windows Server 2003 based) on my VMware workstation 7.1 recently, I had several issues. So, here is a memo to fix those:

• Use IDE I/F when creating a virtual disk for the primary disk.
  Also it need to be at least 80GB.
  
• After the first step installation from DVD, it is going to reboot and resuming the installation from a disk.
  However, at that point, it requires VMware's SCSI disk driver, even though the DVD is using IDE I/F.
  So, make sure to attach a driver floppy image "vmscsi-1.2.0.4.flp", and hit "F6" to load that driver.
