Hard Drive Capable of Hosting Windows Home Server was not found – WHS Setup Error

I don’t need to explain what Windows Home Server is, as I have explained it in my previous post. I was trying to explore the Windows Home Server Pack 3 on my VMware. On the first try to create the VMware Image I failed and I was stuck to go further with the installation. Because, by default VMware will configure with 384 MB ram when you select it as a server and the Hard Disk as 8GB SCSI which will end up in the below error message.

The reason for that is the minimum allocated ram should be more than 512MB and hard disk space should be more than 85GB of IDE Technology.  While creating the image manually set hard disk type to IDE from SCSI and allocate 512MB ram the installation will complete without any error message.
