I usually check new Microsoft OS's on VM. I use VMware Workstation for this (6.5.2).

I played around with Windows server 2008 for something now I’ve moved it Windows Server R2 RC but I'm having problem installing it. I've downloaded the 2 and half GB ISO file but I'm getting error if I try to install it through direct ISO or mounting it on a virtual drive.

When i try to install through virtual drive, VMware doesn’t recognize it and continues trying to boot trough other methods.

When I try and install through ISO path to the virtual machine it boots up but when i try to install it gives error "a required CD/DVD device driver is missing and asks me to install the CD with the drvier" It doesn't go beyond that..


Any suggestions? I've never got this before..
