If the OS installation is complete, and you're virtual disk(s) are
configured as SCSI devices then you don't need to use the driver on the
virtual floppy. Just install the Additions and you're done.

Message:The default for a VM is to use IDE drives. Virtual IDE drives are slow,
just like their physical counterparts. Virtual SCSI drives communicate
faster, as do their physical counterparts. Off of the Microsoft Virtual
Server blog site, they recommend installing Windows onto the default, fixed
Virtual Hard disk (which is IDE) and then after the installation is finish
you can migrate the virtual disk over to a virtual SCSI controller. Here's
how:
- After installing onto an IDE drive, shutdown the guest OS
- Then edit the Virtual Machine's configuration to add a scsi controller to
your virtual machine
- Boot the virtual machine
- Uninstall and Reinstall the Virtual Machine Additions
- Shutdown the virtual machine
- Change the virtual drive from the IDE Controller to a free channel on the
virtual SCSI controller

Message:Hi there,
I'd tried the SCSI driver (with F6 and mount the VFD), however sometime
it will just hang when installing the guest OS, I need to reinstall
the OS again, it happen very often. Is there anything which I miss?
