How to install Windows XP as a guest operating system in VMware products

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1000863 This video provides steps for installing Windows XP as a guest operating system in VMware products. The video was created using VMware Workstation, but the basic steps apply to VMware ESX, VMware Fusion, VMware ACE, and VMware Player. When installing Windows XP as your guest operating system in your virtual machine, you may receive the error: "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer." This is because a compatible disk controller driver is not shipped with Windows XP.

Next time you create a video, don't go through the steps so fast! You may be fast on your machine but that's not going to help here! :( The whole point of a how-to video is on the assumption that the audience needs help! This video is rather useless to me.
