the disk was not found(Altiris)

使用VMware测试Altiris，从虚拟机中上传镜像时会出现错误提示“the disk was not found”，

rdlog in LINUX:

Error description:

The directory could not be opened.

(Note: Current volume is NTFS from source slot 1.)

Possible causes:

This operation requires a directory, not a file.

Possible resolutions:

Use a directory instead of a file for this operation.

后发现是VMware6.0和Deployment Solution 6.8间不兼容引起的，DS6.8不能识别VM6.0的IDE硬盘，如果要在VM6.0里使用DS6.8则需要使用LSI SCSI Adapter，并且安装系统可能需要加载SISI驱动

我本身的测试环境是

VMware 6.0+Deployment Solution 6.8+IDE

要解决这个问题可以有下面的几种方案

1、VMware 5.5+Deployment Solution 6.8+IDE Adapter

2、VMware 6.0+Deployment Solution 6.9+IDE Adapter

3、VMware 6.0+Deployment Solution 6.8+SCSI Adapter(LSI)

4、使用 WinPE automation.

使用第三种方案时需要在新建虚拟机时选择LSI logic 类型的SCSI Adapter，并且安装XP时要加载SISI驱动
