It appears this particular combination is not happy. After downloading the new DVD image from Microsoft I attempted a fresh install on a new VM. When I click "Install Now..." on the Vista installer, it spins for a second and then comes up with a dialog that says "A required CD/CVD device driver is missing..." After that it asks me to find the driver, which I of course cannot. Does anyone have any insight into this problem?
You might check to see that the DVD image you actually downloaded is exactly the same size as the one on the MS site. If they provide a checksum, you might test that yours has the same cheksum. A corrupted download would expalin your problem. Failing that, you could download it again and checksum both files to see they are the same. FWIW, Win2k runs all the apps I need.
