Hello

I have installed VMware on Linux (Red Hat Enterprise) without any problems but when I try to install windows 2000 prof. it says that it cant find any cdrom? In the settings window wheere you choose to "start virtual machine" it says that my cdrom is on /dev/cdrom/

Any ideas what can be wrong?

Regards/D_S

 
is that really the cdrom device? check it out (try with /dev/hdc or something else)... another problem could be the CD itself, did you try to mount in tin the linux itself?

is the CD bootable?

Cheers.
