Just attempting to get two issues cleared up. The original VMWare image for Debian had some vmx file confguration errors that prevented the CD and Floppy from being connected for the host winXP home system. The entries I have are not entirely correct, but I think I am closer:

ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
ide1:0.fileName = "E:"
ide1:0.deviceType = "atapi-cdrom"
ide0:0.startConnected = "TRUE"
floppy0.present = "TRUE"
floppy0.fileName = "A:"
floppy0.startConnected = "TRUE"

I think I have to change the filenames to:

ide1:0.fileName = "media/cdrom"
floppy0.fileName = "media/floppy"

I am not sure if I have to add the 0 at the end of the filename. Well try this and see if I can mount the cd with the vmware tools iso on it..
