Add this line : bios.bootDelay = “15000″ to the end of the file :
Go to my documents, Click on "Virtual machines"
Select the .vmx file.
click by the right and edit in notepad

Save the vmx file.
Now go to VMWARE
Right click on settings
Press ok.
2. Power on the image and press ESC to show the boot menu.
3. Insert your BT5 Live CD or configure VM to use an ISO image as the CD. Other Ubuntu Linux Live CDs may work.
4. Select Boot from CD/DVD from the boot menu
5. Boot the Live CD( iso or whatever method you did) in Text mode
6. Once the bash prompt shows, type fdisk -l to show your drives. Usually it's /dev/sda1

8. Mount the vm disk, type : mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/vmdisk (replace /dev/sda1 with your drive’s info) - type enter
