hi, did you use a iso burning software to burn the iso to the disk ,or did you just copy burn the iso file to the disk

Sounds like the iso/disk is damaged. If you have the original ISO, you can use the .iso file and mount it directly to the Guest OS without having to burn it first.

you need to burn the iso with iso burning software or win7 and win8 have built in iso burning ,if you have win7 or 8 just right clicvk on the iso file and choose burn to disk ,better to use dvd-r than dvd-rw disks ,

i choose brows from the hard disk

what are brows

there is no magic solution ,you just need tomake sure you are creating the install dvd properly ,using iso burning software and a dvd-r disk for best results .if you don't have iso burning software this one will do .

But with VMWare Workstation, you can set the New Guest OS to use the ISO as the CD rom.... There's no need to burn the ISO to a physical disk.
