hi Daniel, too make a new windows install, find the new item, click on it and let the windows install helper take care of the rest. All of this takes place under vmware, so as the windows install do what it do best, you can't see anything going on on the screen. I got a old xp image laying around i use it for scanning nursing and other medical books, it works adoringly.
