Attachment 249793 Hi there I thought you were using VMware workstation - - never mind just hold your finger on F2 while you power on the VM -- this *should* bring you into the virtual BIOS and then set your boot device. Hold your finger on the key while powering on the Guest -- modern CPU's are so fast these days that you probably won't have time to react to the quick prompt screen when powering on the VM --sometimes it's so fast you won't even SEE it. If that fails I believe you can set a delay in the .vmx configuration file --I haven't done that for ages but try this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16876...-screen-delay/ The screen you got INVARIABLY means the Guest OS hasn't been installed properly or the Virtual BIOS can't find the boot device. It really is as simple as that. -- This should be really easy for you to check. If you are INSTALLING a guest VM from a physical device ensure that the CD / DVD device is set in the configuration settings for the VM. You can also use an ISO image on a HDD or any other device that the Virtual BIOS detects as a boot device . Cheers jimbo |

Workstation installs Player as well (I'm not sure why). I mentioned the "F2" key earlier. |
