Issues Creating A Windows 8 VM

[nelliott]

I am after some advice, I am trying to create a Windows 8 VM (running off Hyper-V) however, when I boot the VM off the iso file I get the following error:

 

A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard disk drive. If you have a CD, DVD or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert in now.

Note: If the installation media for Windows is in the DVD drive or on a USB drive, you can safety remove it for this step.

Has anyone else experienced this issue if so how did you resolve the issue?

 

Thanks in advance!

What type of drive and interface have you chosen for the virtual disc drive interface?

Got the ISO file mounted via a IDE virtual CD/DVD drive.

Have you checked the ISO isn't corrupt by verifying its MD5/SHA-1 hash (assuming it is from somewhere like VLSC)?

redownloaded the iso and its now working fine! thanks for your help everyone!
