I'm trying to install Windows 8, it see the CD Rom. But for some reason it wont see the virtual HD it says "a media driver your computer needs is missing". I've gone though all the possible settings that everyone explanes on all the sites. Nothing seems to work. I'm running a SSD on an Ivy Bridge setup, but that shouldn't matter right cause its virtual anyways?
