Vmware Server 1.02<br />
Trying to install a 2nd guest operating system (2003 standard), but keep getting<br />
'unable to open drive E (cd rom) . Another virtual machine or application may be using this drive exclusively'<br />
changed the settings so only this guest has exclusive access to it in config, but no difference.<br />

Vmware Server - 2nd guest operating system  - unable to open drive

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
