Windows Installer cannot find readers

I am trying to create a virtual machine (Windows XP) on a NFS mount.  I added the storage of the physical machine via VirtualCenter UI successfully.  I also use an iso of Windows XP for the installation that is on the same nfs mount.  When you start the virtual machine, windows install working (so is finding the nfs mount) but just after I click the F8 key to continue, Windows is unable to find records of the installation.  It's the classic Windows doesn't have the driver for this raid controller problem, but this time I use NFS for readers, so I do not understand what could be the issue.

Leave it to BusLogic and just present this virtual disk that I linked in the previous post during installation.  The location where the virtual machine disk file is stored (NFS, SAN, storage Internet) shouldn't matter in your case.

  • Impossible to rename files in Windows 7 "cannot find this item.

    Since the last batch of updates of Windows 7 (KB915597, KB3179573, KB3115475, KB3177723 and KB915597), suddenly I am completely impossible to rename the folders, even newly created. When I try, I'm greeted by an error message indicating:

    "Cannot find this article.

    It is no longer in [location of the folder]. Check the location of the item and try again. »

    I clearly see that the file has not changed, and hit the "Try" button again makes the error message disappears for a split second before returning again.

    I am sure that no recent updates is responsible and this uninstallation of the update should solve the problem, but I don't know enough about them to 99.99969999503% (or how exactly the origin of the problem) to determine what. No one knows that one is?
