Posted on 8:45 PM by Unknown

    If you have problems booting from an ISO or installing form and ISO here are some tips.

    Settings for deploying ISO:
    EDIT the vm settings
    Click  Options
    Go to Boot options
    Change Boot on Power Delay to 9000.
    This is so you get a 9 second delay in the boot. You can increase it more if you need more time.
    Click OK .




    Start your VM
    Press escape to enter the boot menu





    Now attach your CD ISO
    Click the cd drive and "connect to iso image on the local disk"
    Then select your ISO.
    Now highlight the CDROM DRIVE and press enter





    Now you are booting from your  cd
