        Hi Lakshmana download Elementary OS from their site found here.

        And boot it from a USB drive or use an ISO burner to burn it to dvd.

        He lacks Internet capacity to do that.

          My DVD Drive is not working.

          This would be a pretty big issue for trying to load the OS from a DVD. You need to address this first.

            There is one DVD in that 3 OS are present.
            There are two OS which are present in the ISO folder to copy and the Elementary OS which is present as Bootable.
            When I try to install in another system the OS is able to boot from the CD Drive

              So you have a non-working DVD drive, but you need to copy the Elementary ISO off of this disc to create bootable media.

              Do you have any friends that have a working DVD burner that you can copy the media from?

                  Okay, so it sounds like the drive is working then?

                    @DustinB3403 Yes I am having the DVD burner.
                    I have copied the whole content as such in the 16 GB Pendrive to boot into VMware but it does not boot from the OS

                      That's going to be tough. If that doesn't work, how will you read the disc?

                          To make an ISO file from the ISO disc that you have, just do this command on Linux...

                          dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/cdcopy.iso

                              Ah ha, this is making more sense. So you have access to a working drive but need to convert the ISO disc to an ISO file so that you can move it to your own machine. 🙂

                              Calling it ISO format was adding to the confusion as that is what a DVD is. The term ISO format refers to the filesystem on the DVD itself.

                                @Lakshmana Why are you trying to run the VMWare installer on your friends system?

                                Are you simply trying to test the OS?

                                    I believe he is just working on a few different OSes so that he can learn more about them and build his resume.

                                        @Lakshmana If the CD is bootable can you simple Boot into the LiveCD environment, and learn from there?

                                          You did not read what I wrote. ISO format and Bootable CD are the same thing. ISO 9660 is the technical name for a bootable CD or DVD. Every bootable CD you have is ISO format, that is what allows the computer to read it.

                                          I provided the command to turn your ISO format CD into an ISO file above.

                                            Because he does not have a working CD or DVD drive on his own system.
