O.P. Virtual Machine Problem

ok so i finally made my virtual machine, i insert my Ubuntu 7.10 live cd and run VMware Player. It starts up, but for some reason it cant find the bootable disc. i have put the disc on both DVD and CD and i have tried putting them in different drives but it keeps giving me the same error. see screenie for the error...
