Thanks for the reply. I did do that but still not reading that anything is in the dvd player. Here is what my host config shows form my DL-360 G5
mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0 status is mounted. lUN = 0
in the VM config I have tried all hosts of things (pardon the pun). Maybe I'm trying to do something wrong here. In the Bios when I boot to it, I have boot from CD rom at the top but it does not matter. Should a cdrom appear in the bios configuration under IDE ?
