VMWare says "cannot lock file", so it seems the disk image has to be read/write (not just read). Is there any workaround? Is there a function in VMWare where the writes are being redirected into some temporary write cache (HD, RAM)?

Thanks,
Bugs.

Are you mounting the DVD with VMWare? I have heard of problems doing it that way. You should try Daemon Tools or Alcohal 120% they both seem to work fine.
