I am having trouble getting this to work. From what I have read this is an IDE driver issue but I am not sure if I should approach this from the vmx file, drivers in vmware or from the windows side and could use some help. Here is some relavent information:
- I am using Fusion 4.1.1 on a 15" MacBook Pro- I have tried this on a Mac Mini and had the same error.
- I used the "Migrate your PC" option to import a Dell Laptop running Windows XP Pro, which completes successfully.
- Both machines are fully patched with the latest OS updates
- Upon launching the virtual machine from Fusion I get the error message " Cannot connect virtual device ide0:0. No corresponding device is available on the host. Would you like an attempt to be made to connect this virtual device every time you power on the virtual machine?"
- The error message that Windows subsequently displays is a STOP: 0x0000007B error, here is the screen shot:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
