Can't install RC1 on a VPC

[RScotti]

Hi,
I started the install RC1 on a VPC but can't continue cause it is looking for a D:\drive for the files even
though my DVD is on E:\
At first didn't have a D:\drive. It use to be my recovery partition but deleted it.
So I used Partition Magic (reluctantly) to make a D drive and still get the message (Not exact text)
Windows can't open the required files D:\sources\install.wim. May be missing or corrupt.
I accessed it and it there. Don't know if it is corrupt.
But Have used this DVD before to install RC1.
What can I do now?

Have a good day!

Are you using MS VPC. I go to CD on themenu and capture whatever physical
drive my CD is in. Altough I prefer to capture the ISO image.

I am running Vista on VPC 2007 with no issues

The drive lettering in the virtual machine is unrelated to the drive
lettering on the host.

Thanks everybody,
I figured it out from the VPC Newsgroups I had to use the ISO file cause the DVD wouldn't work with the beta.

The drive lettering in the virtual machine is unrelated to the drive
lettering on the host.

Have a good day,
