Question for the VMware folk

["Tony Gettig" <GettigAM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey there,

My workstation is Windows 2000 Pro. I have the demo for VMware W2K. I want to install RH 7 as guest OS. (I'll try Linux as the host and W2k as guest later.) 

The RH gui install starts up no prob. The issue is with the hard drive. My vmware settings specify a 1 GB virtual hard disk. When RH install tells me there's something wrong with /dev/hda, I am inclined to think it is not referring to the virtual disk. Call me chicken, but I cancelled the install and decided to throw the question out to this list. Am I right that the install is referring to my actual hard disk? Or am I safe in telling the RH install program to "fix" the problem with hda? Has anyone else tried this setup?
