General Installation Notes

Be sure to read General Guidelines for All VMware Products on page 13 as well as this

guide to installing your specific guest operating system.

You can install a supported version of Windows 2000 in a virtual machine using the

corresponding Windows 2000 distribution CD. If your VMware product supports it,

you may also install from a PXE server.

ESX Server or VirtualCenter: If you are using the virtual LSI Logic SCSI adapter, you

must download the driver from the download center at the LSI Logic Web site. Go to

www.lsilogic.com/support/ and look for the LSI20320 SCSI adapter driver for your guest

operating system. For details on installing this driver, see the VMware ESX Server

Administration Guide.

Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and

configured a new virtual machine.

Windows 2000 Installation Steps

1. Insert the Windows 2000 CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Windows 2000.

3. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical machine.
