When setting up the VM what specs have you given it?

Your CD/ Iso might be corrupt or if your using you real CD drive something else might be interfering with the VM accessing it.

o use iso, not cd.

settings? what you are reffering to? all default.

Good to hear, for future reference I was refering to host os settings for instance (IIRC) Vmware comes up with a pop-up warning about the affects of Autorun on CD drives though it shouldn't be too problematic just initially annoying.
