Hm maybe you misunderstand me. The medicheck is not the problem! With or
without a mediacheck the installer says "The CentOS CD was not found in
any of your drives...." but CentOS boots from it and can do a mediacheck.
So there is a CDROM but not for the installer fro installation...
I really tried every combination possible!

But I will try the network installation method. Much easier for a VM.
