ESX VMware Guest OS Microsoft XP did not find hard drive upon install

Asked by minnefornian in VMware, Windows XP Operating System, Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: did not find a hard drive, ESX VMware Guest OS Microsoft XP Pro

The Guest OS has 35GB configured but when I go to install the OS, the Windows installation states that it "did not find a hard drive." Also, this is the last time you would see this message unless you started the VM creation process over. Otherwise, simply rebooting the Guest just goes to a solid cursor (viewable from the VMWare console on the Guest machine)&that's it.
The media is an XP disk that was placed in the host machine's CDROM. I compared to the other dozen VMs and all look alike, including 2003 and XP installs.

Thanks,
