The problem is apparently I need a drive to install vmware tools, but every time I try to add the drive it gives me this error.

thanks my man, My issue was that. My damn keyboard wanted to do a update and made me click all sorts of options that I did not select. Since I dont have a cd drive I would get the BSOD and that is always scary even if im in a VM - the scary part was my actual Pc was giving the BSOD and yeah I dont have a cd drive. It did however have that checked and to boot on that. Thank you sir

[fedora]

thank you for the effort but that does not solve the initial issue just sweeps it under the rug.... the question remains.... how to fix the pop up window when I am using the cd/floppy/ how? and be able to connect it
