I'm trying to install Centos 4.3 in VMWare Workstation running on Windows XP (my laptop). I downloaded the CD iso's to my Linux box and burned them (I did them correctly since last time I screwed them up). However, when I start the VM in VMWare, it says the CD isn't bootable. Any ideas?

When it comes to vmware installs, I usually just tell vmware to use the iso as the cdrom. Makes things go much quicker. You can also add as many cdrom devices as you need to use all the isos, so that you don't have to switch disks on install, and then remove the extras later.

You lost me (not unusual). I'm new to VMWare. How do you tell it to use the iso as the cdrom? Can you walk me through this? (off-line of course).

Thanks!
