VMWare Workstation Bootdelay

I'm sure you will recognize this. You booted your VM from an .iso and it booted perfectly. Now when the OS had been installed, you try to boot again from another .iso, and here comes the problem... it won't! You have to change the bootorder for that, but it boots way to fast to push that button in time. Here is how I solve this problem:



1 Open up the .vmx file of the VM2 Add the following line: bios.bootDelay ="# of milliseconds"

This will give you a few extra seconds to hit that button and change the bootorder
