Then just press F2 to change it permanently ;)
have u actually tried this cus when i tried it it made no difference

EDIT: i actually went into the bios and changed the boot sequence but it still boots from Intel E1000 (and yes i did save before exiting setup)

EDIT 2: I now have screenie showing you i have changed the boot sequence but it still boots from Intel E1000

the boot sequence is fine it's fact that it's not detecting a cd in the drive.

it's exactly what happened to me,
post your vmx file & drive letters & i'll give it a go
