Fedora Core 5 inst. problem

ma · 01-15-2007, 01:06 PM

I am trying to install Fedora Core 5 in VMware and I get this message:

An error had occured - no valid devices were found on which to create a new file system. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.

I am running UBUNTU under VMware without problems.

thanks.

Check your VM settings, make sure your VM harddrive is IDE and not SCSI.

Thank you, - would you by any chance know how to find about the Vm harddrive out?

Go to the VM settings, I think it's in the VM menu.

But, How come the Ubuntu ( my other Vmachine) is SCSI. I installed it that way and it runs well. thanks again. How come you know so much? - where did you learned it?

I don't know, maybe Fedora 5 (which is the old version) doesn't support vmware SCSI but I find that hard to believe.

I just know a lot of stuff... lol
