Microsoft Longhorn Build 3683 Error

[ÐØØMÊ®]

I've just downloaded Microsoft Longhorn Build 3683, which is an early Build of Longhorn made long ago. It's an ISO File, I've put it on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 & before I install it I get this Error (it says that "I have no Drive"):



Can anyone help me?

Note: This Build is called: Microsoft Longhorn (Windows) XP. So don't say "That's Windows XP, not Longhorn".

This error happens because your computer has a storage controller that isn’t supported natively in XP, usually a  SATA (Serial ATA) controller
you can solve this by slipstreaming the drivers into the iso using nLite that is avalable from the link below with instructions on how to use
http://www.nliteos.com/index.html
A good site to learn about o/s instalation or customising is
http://www.msfn.org/board/forum.html
Either that or get hold of a copy with drivers already slipstreamed to suit your system

And FYI, Doomer, ALL M$ o/s's have a name like 'Longhorn', used in development, then the XP or Vista or whatever is the 'Retail' or Release name...

So yes, it IS just XP, and a crummy early build, IMHO...

Also to add that if you cant get it to load then you have no chance of making into u usable system so to be honest i wouldnt bother with it unless you are prepaired to spend a lot of sleepless nights on learning how to get it up and running as a worthwhile system, if you are just curious i can enlighten you that it is a bug riddled eary build no good to anyone other than custom o/s builders/advanced users

No, it's not Windows XP, it's Longhorn. Which is an early build of Vista. How do I get this nLite to work? And I use Windows 7 & it says it's only compatible  with Windows 2000, XP & Server 2003.

Longhorn is xp with a white logo especially the build that you are speaking of, its as close to vista as a F1 car is to a wheelbarrow .... a little advice on this Doomer ,if you are going to speak on such subjects then please at least do a little research on the subject matter and remember google is your friend.
Please read the article below and check out the msfn forum that i gave you a link to and subsequent forums that you will find from there and you will be able to find out all the  CORRECT info that you desire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Longhorn

As for not nlite not being compatible i will give you a couple of clues   go to  properties then use the compatibility tab then take a stab at what comes next    also if you want to play about with old o/s configurations i suggest you run a duel boot system with xp installed as there are a lot more tools available that will not require any adjustments to make them work .

Now lets draw a line under this matter as you have been given all the information required and this is a winmx forum not a moders/custom forum

Doomer, what is being said is as follows. You asked a question and that question as been answered. There is no point in constantly bringing up a subject that as been aswered.

If it was answered then it would've been working by now.
