Vista - Can't install RC1 on a VPC

Hi,
I started the install RC1 on a VPC but can't continue cause it is looking for a D:\drive for the files even
though my DVD is on E:\
At first didn't have a D:\drive. It use to be my recovery partition but deleted it.
So I used Partition Magic (reluctantly) to make a D drive and still get the message (Not exact text)
Windows can't open the required files D:\sources\install.wim. May be missing or corrupt.
I accessed it and it there. Don't know if it is corrupt.
But Have used this DVD before to install RC1.
What can I do now?

Have a good day!
Rich Scotti

Are you using MS VPC. I go to CD on themenu and capture whatever physical
drive my CD is in. Altough I prefer to capture the ISO image.

I am running Vista on VPC 2007 with no issues

The drive lettering in the virtual machine is unrelated to the drive
lettering on the host.

Thanks everybody,
I figured it out from the VPC Newsgroups I had to use the ISO file cause the DVD wouldn't work with the beta.
