1. An error occurred while installing the CentOS-4.8-i386-binDVD.iso in VMware-no valid device found for which you want to create a new file system. Check your hardware to find the cause of the problem ."
Cause:
The default hard disk of the VM is a SCSI hard disk. We can see from the Internet that the SCSI hard disk requires a dedicated driver, which is included in the Windows system but not read hat, so it is hard to install it.
Solution:
Delete the original SCSI hard disk and create an IDE hard disk.
How to delete a SCSI hard disk and create an IDE Hard Disk:
In favorites, click the computer you want to process --> edit vitual machine settings (under startup, that is, the second one) --> click "Hard Disk (SCSI 0: 0) "--> there is a" Remove "under this box. Click this to delete it. --> Click "add..." on the left of "Remove... ", next," Hard Disk ", create a new vitual disk, next, select IDE (haha, this is where I am talking about adding a new IDE Hard Disk ), then press enter all the way and you will see that there is a "hard" at the bottom of the box.
Disk (IDE 0: 0) "--> success --> feel OK, please leave a message. Thank you.
