Unable to Create Virtual Machine (VMWare Server)
I run VMWare Server for my home test environment. Tonight I wanted to created another VM, but when trying to create a VM it isn't giving me any options for a datastore.
My VMs startup fine. All services appear to be running. Event log clean. No known issues prior to this. The VMs are stored locally on my PC.
How can I choose a datastore?

Does it show datastores on you summary page for the host?
Check if you've got a datastore created.
See this solution from yesterday about datastores on VMware Server.

I saw the 200 supported and assumed it would support microsoft server os, but wanted to ask. Didn't have time to look for the specific servers at that moment. Appreciate the insight.
I have Windows 7 and have always had strange issues running VMware Server 2.0. I think it's time to switch to the player.
