CentOS 5 in VMware problem No Drives Found

I am getting this error trying to install CentOS 5 in VMware. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Allocate the space for HD's immediately, instead of letting it expand

You should get the option when making the new virtual machine

Or download a ready made virtual machine here.....

Use the 'bagvapp' one at the bottom of the first page

Or go direct to their site for less cluttered choices than on vmware site

Having same problem - disk preallocated. any ideas?

 

I have run into this as well. Supposed to have another look at it tomorrow in the lab, if we come up with a good solution, I will post it.

I found that after centos does a test to veryify the cd... it disconnects the media....

So you have to go to the settings in vmware for the cdrom anc check off "Connected".

Then it works again. Its a bit annoying

 

You bumped an old thread, but your reply was dead on for the problem. :major
