Operation on file "\\.\PhysicalDrive0" failed (Access is denied).

Using Server 1.0.8 on Vista Home Prem 32bit.

 

I have the drive from a previous computer that ran XP in this, too, and I want to boot it up in vmware. The drive is unmapped in windows but every time I boot in, I get this error:

 

Operation on file "
.\PhysicalDrive0" failed (Access is denied).

If the file resides on a remote filesystem, please make sure your network connection and the server where this disk resides are functioning properly.

If the file is a CD-ROM image or a floppy image connected to one of the virtual machine's drives, choose Continue, then disconnect the drive. In all other cases choose Abort to terminate the session.

 

What do I need to do to be able to use this drive?
