Running win7 64bit as host, ubuntu 12.04.1 as guest. When choosing to Reinstall VMWare Tools the cdrom image does not get mounted. Checked with mount command, its not there. Try to manually mount (sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom) won't mount...says it is at first read-only, but then complains of unknown filesystem type...checking with dmesg | tail gives:
[ 1264.020860] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
So anyone have any ideas?
