Let's start off with the basic info:  What is your host OS?  What version of VMware Workstation are you using?

And attach the vmx file for one of the guests - want to verify several if the CD-ROM drive settings.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Foundry>

<VM>

<VMId type="string">52 86 31 e8 98 57 e5 35-81 74 e8 6e 73 4b 9e 69</VMId>
