Either my CD-Rom is scratched, or my new virtual machine is attempting to 
boot off of an non-existing hard-drive file or something, instead of the CD. 
Does anyone know how to varify that VMWare workation 5.X (at least) boots 
off a CD-Rom/? I'm trying to install Linux via  a virtual machine.
Also, does anyone else know how I'd be able to mount my card reader (wich is 
used by Windows) so that the VMWare box could use it?
Regards,
--Keith.

You'd need to look at the settings for the virtual machine, and make 
sure that it is actually using the cd.  The other thing to do of 
course, is to make it capture an ISO image; faster that way.
