Running Windows Home Server on VMWare Workstation 7

I am starting to get interest in using Windows Home Server at home, but instead of risking messing up my existing machines, I tried installing Windows Home Server on the VM Machine first. The trial run was paid off as I learned a few things along the process.
  • I tried installing Home Server with the default SCSI based virtual disk. It failed. I changed it to IDE and it proceeded properly.
  • The boot disk has to have at least 60Gb. This is kind of a blow to me since my plan on using my EeePC (with internal 32Gb hard disk ) will not work.
  • The whole process, including all the updates, all take almost 2 hours. Definitely much longer than I expected.
  • The magic of connecting to Windows Home Server is mostly rely on the Connector software you install on your client. But then I heard that Windows 7 has better integration with Windows Home Server. We;ll see.
