I'm trying to install Windows NT 3.51 in a virtual machine. I booted up using a MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk and started NT setup and told it where to install the NT files from.

After that I always get the attached error message. I tried using both a 150 MB & a 2GB HDD but neither worked. Could you tell me what the message means or how to fix it?

First, have you ever got it to work on a physical drive?

No I haven't, I always test thing in a VM before using a physical drive.

But I found a round about way to fix the problem.  I used my XP cd to format the virtual disk as a FAT drive that NT will recognize. Now it wants 3 blank floppies, what does it use these for?
