Issue in Installing New VM Machine

@DustinB3403 said:
@scottalanmiller From what he's saying here Scott is that his DVD drive on his laptop doesn't work, which is where he's running VMWare from to test ISO's.
He needs to get the media off of the DVD and onto a USB or boot over PXE for his laptop.
He needs to get it converted to a file rather than a DVD. Making a bootable USB doesn't help the situation.

PXE? That's a remote boot system over the network! He just needs to copy the file like any normal person. Sneakernet, over the LAN, whatever. Let's solve his issue first before going down other rabbit holes.

Please wait the DVD is already in bootable format.
The bootable format is able to boot in desktop when tried to install it.
I need to convert this bootable DVD to .iso format to show the file to install in my VMware workstation -

eBut I am using the laptop in Windows 8

@scottalanmiller Scott you gave him a command for linux.
That won't work for his desktop, which is running Windows 7.

Like I said... the machine that you are using does not matter. Only the machine with the DVD drive. That's the one that matters and you've not said that that isn't Linux yet even though I pointed this out above.

He said it wasn't his machine that he was doing the transfer on. So I'm not worried about the OS on his machines. As he didn't say that the machine with the DVD drive was not Linux after I pointed this out (twice) I was assuming that it was Linux.

This converter
Might work to convert the Disk to a single ISO file, which you can then use Rufus to write to a thumb drive to boot on your laptop.

Unfortunately Windows does not come with the functionality that you need like every other OS does. Just another way that Windows is hard for basic tasks.
You can download dd for Windows here: http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/dd-0.5.zip

@DustinB3403 Thank you I will try it now and give you the feedback soon
-
@scottalanmiller Thanks Scott.I will check now

@DustinB3403 Data Error(Cyclic Redundancy Check) is shown when used to convert in LCISO
-
OKAY try DD as scott mentioned.

Of course, because you can't copy a filesystem, it doesn't work that way. Nothing there to make it bootable. You need to image it.
30 posts to go to this ^.... lol!

How to use the DD in Windows?
The command prompt opens in the system? -
I've been using Winimage for a decade plus to create image files from CD's and DVD's.
You can check it out here. http://www.winimage.com/
Under the Disk menu option at the top there will be an option to create an image from a CD/DVD.

The instructions are from here.
Rip an .iso from a CD
dd if=\\?\Device\CdRom0 of=c:\temp\disc1.iso bs=1M -

Hmmmm... that's not a good sign. DVD might be bad or the reader might be bad.
