Help! during Virtual Machine install in Parallels I end with a window, in it on one command line it says "Trying to boot from CD-Rom drive...failed" I can no longer eject CD, what's up? :( : From Pat.

That happens to me too...a LOT. I use the Virtual Machine Virtualbox...I ended up uninstalling it because I have absolutely no clue what the problem is. I'm only reposting here because I'm curious as well!

Are you encountering the same problem in VirtualBox or Parallels? If you're using VirtualBox, have you ensured that the VM isn't trying to boot from CD after the install is done?
