Post by 0mega1 »

I'm trying to install Win2000 as a virtual op.system - I have the CD for Win2000 loaded in CD drive 'P' - whenever I try to load it I get message FATAL - could not Boot from the Boot Media' I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

The error message is what you get if the VM can't "see" the CD.

Most likely you have not assocated the VM's virtual CD/DVD drive with your hosts physical 'P' drive (see VM settings Storage section).

This would also be the result if you disabled the CD/DVD in the guests boot order.
