Sme does not see HD in Vmware Workstation 5.5  I don't know what is wrong I have used Fedora and Suse fine but for some reason it does not see the HD Does any one have any ideas?

If you are trying to make an vm machine when you begin the creation of the machine choose RHE4 as the linux type and it should work. I have just built one of these and it works fine.

I can confirm what Tony say's as I've used VMware for all my testing on 7.0x

Use the Guest OS as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 as Centos is based on that!

I'm trying to install 7.0rc1 in a virtual machine in VMWare Server using RHEL4 as the guest OS and I'm getting the same error.  What parameters (memory, HD size, etc.) did you use for your successful installation.

Thanks,
BB
