I tired to create a virtual machine. What does cannot copy vmscsi.sys file mean?
The error message is setup cannot copy vmscsi.sys file. This error message comes even though the floppy drive is connected to the virtual machine. The error was due to the Windows XP image being used, and was created with NLite iso image.
When creating the image, you have to make sure that the OEM Preinstall (within the unattended screen of NLite) is set to disabled. If it is set to enabled it will look for the scsi drivers as referenced by the winnt.sif file. This is why it can’t find the vmscsi.sys files as it is only looking in this directory on the CD and never references the floppy drive. Unless you have a number of custom drivers, you need to integrate; it’s much simpler to just use the floppy image.
