[Info-Ingres] Installing VMware and fedora on a laptop

Hi All,

Seeing as how there has been a recent thread on VMware and ingres....

I've installed VMware on my cool new laptop and told it I was aiming to install redhat. The idea being that eventually I'd download the Ingres Opensource and play with it on the laptop.

So it promptly reserved an 8G flat file for the redhat install. I can see that file on the laptop as
C:\Virtual Machines\Red Hat Linux\Red Hat Linux-flat

So far so good.

I got a fresh download of fedora6-i386-DVD.iso onto a DVD.

I then tried to install it on the VMWare. Anaconda fired up, saw the DVD and wanted to install it, but having selected the 'Use free space on selected drives and create default layout', pressed the 'Next' button it responds with 'No drives found'.

Bugger!

It will not allow me to use the 'Select the drives to use for this installation'. Furthermore, this is the case, whether or not I tick the 'Review and modify partitioning layout' option.

Anyone got any idea what I've done wrong? Coz I've beenplaying with it for an hour or so and gotten precisely no where.
