I am running into the same problem with a WinXPPro guest. When I tried to run the D:\setup\setup.exe it told me the drive was not formatted and would I like to format it.... I just posted the problem on to the VMWare Forum and will let you know if I hear anything back.... At least it's working and is just an annoying message, right? :-) --Rob On Sun, 2004-06-13 at 20:06, D. D. Brierton wrote: > I just installed VMware Workstation 4.5.2 on FC2.
