I'm looking to create a guest installation of Windows Home Server using Workstation 6.5. Throughout the installation, I keep receiving a BSOD stating "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" ***STOP: 0X000000ED (0x8A1E0030, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I'm installing the WHS actively to a Physical Drive (500gB WD) and for the life of me can't get it to proceed past the F6 stage of the install - adding SCSI drivers. Any ideas what could be causing this repeated error?

EDIT - Host Operating System is WinXp x64

EDIT - I think I've solved the problem, I forgot to unmap the hard disk in the host system. As per the reference manual:

To unmap a partition that is mapped to a Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 host
1

Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management.
2

Select a partition and choose Action > All Tasks > Change Drive Letter and Paths.
3

Click Remove.
