Re: WDSC in VM


 

A WDSC7AE install requires about 6GB all by itself once you factor in 
the>temporary space.  It would be nice if you could point the temporary space 
to>an additional drive, but there's no way to do that that I can see.

 
No, I don't know a way that makes that possible.
But if you use a non-preallocated disk file, you can shrink it when your 
install is complete and temp files in the VM are deleted. Shrinking will 
reclaim unused space. What the shrinking proces actually does, is create a new 
virtual disk file and copy the content of the old virtual disk file to the new, 
but without the unused space.
