Now that I finally got W2K installed as a guest, I'm moving on to Vista.
The initial setup and config worked and the Vista install booted from
CDROM and transferred files to the harddrive. After reboot there is just
a blank black screen, which is very similar to the W2K install. With W2K
I worked around it by hitting F5 and selecting Standard PC. With Vista
there is no such option.
I transferred the ISO to disk and added it to my config file. When I
create the guest and it tries to boot I get this error:
Boot from Hard Disk 0 failed
FATAL: not a bootable disk
