Thanks for the quick reply, qe.

 

 

I checked and the file system shows as NTFS. Also, the drive has 30GB capacity and 17GB free. So, I seem to be good there.

 

 

However, and this may throw some wrenches, I am actually running WinXP SP3 as a VM using Parallels on a Mac. Then, inside of my Windows VM, I am running VMware Workstation to get the Big-IP LTM VE going. I've also verified the specifics of the Windows VM, and it should meet the minimum requirements without issue.

 

 

Any other thoughts would be appreciated...
