I ran TAP in a VMware v4.5.x virtual machine and prepared a couple of
components to include in a XPe image. Then I allocated a 256 MB SDI disk
image file in XPe studio using the SDI loader. This creates the equivalent
of a VMware virtual disk file, except that your Windows host system mounts
it as if it were a physical hard drive instead of a virtual machine mounting
it. Have the XPe studio write out your completed XPe image to the SDI disk
[you have to assign it a disk drive letter in the disk manager in Computer
Management]. Once that has been done, go back and remove the drive letter
in the disk manager and configure VMware to have a guest system that boots
from a raw physical disk and tell it to use the physical disk that your host
system uses to represent the SDI disk. It is all smooth sailing from there.
If you need any of the components that I created for VMware, email me and
let me know and I'll zip them up and send them to you. I put in the VMware
video driver, the BUS Logic SCSI adapter driver and a few other
VMware-specific things such as the component that was built by running the
TAP utility in a VMware guest system.
HTH,
Chuck
