Guest bikedude880 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hmm... what I would recommend doing, given your problems, is to open up VMware (what version do you have?), click on the tab labeled "Mac OS X" (or whatever you called it) and look for a setting called "CD-ROM (IDE 1:0)". Open that up and look for an option labeled "Connect exlusively to this virtual machine" and make sure that the CD device is the one you mounted the image on. Reboot your VM and it should work, if not, post the error message.

Cr0n_J0b Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think I had something similar to this happen to me in VMware. I forgot that I was booting up a virtual machine with all it's machine like issues. So when I first booted the virtual machine and saw the BIOS screen...the VIRTUAL BIOS screen, I hit delete and that allowed me into the VIRTUAL BIOS (Not the real when on system start...this is in the VM screen". Then I went through the BIOS options and found that CD ROM wasn't selected to boot first. I changed that and I was fine from then on. That's my 2 cents.
