用VMware 5.5安裝Vista Beta 2 Build5219步驟


I have finally gotten Vista to install in Vmware 5 by following these instructions from the Vmware forums:


1. Create a new VM
2. Memory 512MB
3. Hard Disk (IED 0:0) 20GB
4. CD-ROM (IDE 1:0) Pointing to the ISO Image
5. Ethernet 1 "Bridged"

Start VM
1. Boots the DVD
2. When you get to the part where it ask to pick the disk, delete the existing partition.
3. Recreate the partition
4. Exit the install and reboot the VM
5. During the VM BIOS hit F2 then change the boot order to have the CD/DVD be the first boot device
6. Save and Exit the BIOS
7. When you get to the part where it ask to pick the disk again, highlight then choose format
8. Now select again then choose install
9. It will now start the installation process
10. After a couple of reboots and 45 minutes later (depending on your host machine), the install will be done.
11. You are now logged in but no network, video, and sound
12. Install the VMware tools to get the video going
13. After VMWare Tools reboot and the video will be better
14. Still no network or sound, active the VMware tools so the VM can see the tools on drive D:
15. Goto Device manager, right click the ethernet controller, go to properties, then reinstall the driver.
16. During the reinstall it search the CD-ROM (vmware tools) for the right network driver.
17. You should now have network and able to surf the Internet with IE 7, but still no sound
18. Surf to www.soundblaster.com
19. select drivers from the right bottom panel
20. then North America/United States/English then Go
21 then choose Sound Blaster/Other/16PCI then click Next
22. Choose English/Windows XP/Drivers then Go
23. Download the "Driver release for SB PCI 128 Vibra / PCI 16"
24. Run the installer then reboot and viola you should have sound.


===============
參考網友發表的Vista Beta 1 on VM5之後,
前面採用完全依樣的過程成功的在VM5.5上安裝了Vista Beta 2 Build5219.
其中要注意1~9步驟,似乎要完全照上面說的才能巧妙的安裝在VM5.5裡頭.
