VMWare player does not detect GParted live CD iso file

1.1k views Asked by At

I have a VMWare Player virtual machine where I am trying to change partitions of my Windows 7 VM hardrive using GParted. I downloaded a GParted live CD from here. I tried this with both *-i686 and *-amd64 versions.

The problem is that VMWare Player VM does not detect the bootable ISO at all. I added the ISO file like this. When I run the VM and check its setting then CD/DVD (SATA) has a checkmark next to it so I presume it is connected. But the ISO is nowhere to be found when I try to change boot order in PhoenixBIOS. So I cannot run GParted to change partitions.

I´ve already checked that both *-i686 and *-amd64 ISO files are bootable with MagicISO.

Has anyone dealt with this? I´ve tried both my Windows 7 VM and Ubuntu VM. In both I went into PhoenixBIOS and results were the same.
