We've been trying to figure out why we couldn't get the XP VMs to see the hard drives for a couple days now, had no idea about the VMware SCSI boot floppy image. Just a note it does appear that you may not have this problem on certain hardware platforms. We loaded our ESX 3.5 server on a Dell R610 with SAS hdds and did have the issue another server was loaded on an older Dell PowerEdge with SATA drives and they did not have to load a 3rd party SCSI driver during the install.
