Either my CD-Rom is scratched, or my new virtual machine is attempting to boot off of an non-existing hard-drive file or something, instead of the CD. Does anyone know how to varify that VMWare workation 5.X (at least) boots off a CD-Rom/? I'm trying to install Linux via a virtual machine. Also, does anyone else know how I'd be able to mount my card reader (wich is used by Windows) so that the VMWare box could use it? Regards, --Keith.
