What happens when VMware installs Redhat Linux with "This disc cannot be mounted"?

When installing the RedHat Linux operating system with Vmware Workstation, because there are 3 RedHat Linux installer image files, RedHat Linux will remind us to insert the 2nd or 3rd CD at the appropriate time during the installation process.

As shown in the following illustration, we can press CTRL + ALT key to move the mouse focus out of the virtual machine, and then click on the VMware menu bar "virtual machine"-> "set"-> "CD/DVD" to replace the ISO image file.

However, most people do not check the "connected" in the device status panel above, resulting in the replacement of the ISO image file not in effect, so the Redhat Linux installer also detects the replacement disc, prompting an error message: The disc cannot be mounted.

From the above text description, we already know the reason for this error, it is not difficult to solve the problem. We only need to re-enter the above settings interface, check the "Connected" can be selected.

In addition, if you think this is a bit of a hassle, you can also click on the CD icon on the status bar below VMware and click "Connect" to achieve the same goal.
