Problem installing Win Vista of SuperDrive

After the installation of Fusion 2.0.6 I then install Win Vista by inserting the CD in one of the two SuperDrive on my PowerMac.  It does not recognize one of the two disks.  In the technical session of this Forum, I found how to fix this problem by changing the VMware configuration file.  Still not solve my problem by changing to IDE0 or SCSI0 for four parameters.

Can someone help to solve more high question on how I can get the merger to recognize one of the burners so that I can install Win Vista?  Thank you.

More information:

Mac OS X 10.6.1

Fusion 2.0.6 (I don't think that this problem is au.6 as I had the same problem as avec.5)

Mac Pro 8-core 2.26 Hz with 16 MB memory

Thank you.

Cannot install VMware Fusion on a PowerMac because it is not based on Intel, which is a requirement.

You shouldn't have to change the CD/DVD from IDE to SCSI under VMware Fusion to install Windows Vista and if for some reason you cannot get the disc to use the physical disk and then make an ISO Image and use it to install as it is actually faster and that is including the time to make the image.

=================

Note: When you use utility disk in order to have a bootable ISO Image, you must select Master CD/DVD without encryption in which case by default, it will have an extension .cdr file and in version 1.1 of the merger and later does not need to be changed in .iso, although one can if one chooses to. A default .dmg image is compressed and is not bootable, as an uncompressed .dmg will start if changed in .iso and of course the source CD/DVD should be bootable in the first place.

To create an ISO Image using disk utility...

1 insert the CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer.

2. open disk utility (/ Applications/Utilities/Disk utility).

3. Select the CD or DVD drive in the list of disks and volumes.

4. Choose file > new > "Disk Image from (name of the disc)."

5. type a name for the disk image.

6. choose "DVD/CD master" from the Image Format pop-up menu.

7 choose "none" from the encryption pop-up menu.

8. click on save.

After you have made the ISO Image and then eject the disc source from the optical drive.

Then, set the ISO Image as the CD/DVD in the leaf of the parameters of the Virtual Machine.

Take a look at: VMware Fusion menu bar > help > VMware Fusion help > managing Virtual Machines > configure the CD/DVD drive
