Naming the Virtual Machine
Selecting the Network Type
412/5/08
In this step you need to give your virtual machine a descriptive name and select a location for it.
It’s good practice to include the OS version in the name and create a folder with the same name just for that particular virtual machine.
Click Next.
You have three options for network settings. The more typical choice is “Use bridged networking”, which allows you to assign the virtual machine its own static IP address.
Click Next.

How big should the VM be?
Ready for installation
512/5/08
Although the size of your VM can be proportional to the size of the hard drive that it is on, we will make ours 8 GB so that we may put it on a DL DVD in the future.
Do not select the “Allocate all disk space now” check box. This is used if you want to dedicate the entire Disk size to the VM immediately.
Click Finish.
After VMware creates the VM you should now see a tab displaying the name of your virtual machine.
Notice the settings in the “Devices” section. Look these over and make sure they are correct.

You may do this by one of two methods.

For this install we will be using an ISO image.

Once VMware has captured the ISO you will need to reboot the machine. You can do this by:

Don't Forget VMware Tools
It is very important that you install VMware Tools in the guest operating system.
With the VMware Tools SVGA driver installed, Workstation supports significantly faster graphics performance.
The VMware Tools package provides support required for shared folders and for drag and drop operations.
Other tools in the package support synchronization of time in the guest operating system with time on the host, automatic grabbing and releasing of the mouse cursor, copying and pasting between guest and host, and improved mouse performance in some guest operating systems
