you have confirmed the media is set to client and "connect at power on/connected" is set? Also, make sure the BIOS is set to have CD ROM as it's first boot device
Plus, you have confirmed the media is bootable?

Yes the media is bootable and I have tried both Client and Host options. But the Drive is not recognized, once the VM can not connect to a DHCP server, it halts there. I have an ISO of the the Guest OS that I am trying to load is there a way that I can utilize this file? Thanks.
