installing VMware - new VM won't let me use a physical drive...
I've installed vmware server on my dell d430 laptop, to demo lefthand's new VSA ISCSI SAN. after installing the server, attempting to install an XP vm presents a problem - I can't select a physical drive (my external CD/DVD drive) from which to install the guest OS. Left Hand hasn't heard of this one, nore has vmware, so I thought I'd ask here. I'd prefer not to create an ISO on my laptop to install XP vm's for a demo.
Any advise is appreciated!

Not sure that it is actually the same however. Did you try restarting the VMware Server service after attaching the external CDROM?
