An ISO Image is simply a file version of a CD or DVD ROM. To use this with VMware workstation you need to select to first boot from CD-ROM as it defaults to hard disk and network boot first.
The simplest solution is to follow the Wizard in VMware workstation selecting Typical
and the using the Installer disc image (iso)
option to point to the located of the downloaded Debian image:
Alternatively if the CD-ROM Device is attached and the ISO image mounted (Go to Virtual Machine Settings
, select CD/DVD (SATA)
and complete the Use ISO Image file:
field with the location of your Debian ISO. Check the connected
if powered on and also the Connect at power on
check boxes) then it should boot if no OS is found on the virtual disk.
Another alternative if you are quick, immediately after powering on the VM you can press Esc to get a boot menu - from there you can select to boot from CD. However, the ISO image has to be connected.
Note: where I say CD this can also mean DVD - it is the same process for both ISO format types.
