a BusLogic or an LSI Logic SCSI adapter. The default for your guest operating
system is already selected. All guests except Windows Server 2003, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3 and NetWare default to the BusLogic adapter.
The LSI Logic adapter has improved performance and works better with generic
SCSI devices.
The choice of which SCSI adapter to use is separate from the choice to make the
virtual disk an IDE or SCSI disk.
Older guest operating systems do not include a driver for the LSI Logic adapter. If
you choose to use the LSI Logic adapter in an operating system that does not
have a driver for it, you must download the driver from the LSI Logic Web site.
See the VMware Guest Operating System Installation Guide for details about the
driver and the guest operating system you plan to install in this virtual machine.

Virtual disks are appropriate for any virtual machines distributed in a package. By
default, virtual disks start as small files on the host computers hard drive, then
expand as needed — up to the size you specify in a later step. That step also
allows you to allocate all the disk space when the virtual disk is created, if you
wish.
