              Do you have a home or office network?

              Or even a USB drive?

              If so I'd recommend copying the Bootable Disc to your desktop and then writing it to a USB drive.

                  Doesn't matter what YOUR desktop is as you will be doing the transfer on your friend's system.

                    I thought that we solved it already.

                      Rufus is a rather small download at 843 Kb.

                      Copy the ISO from the Disc, and write it to a USB drive using rufus.

                        This entire thread is about him trying to figure out how to copy it to his desktop.

                            You are solving a problem that he does not have and makes no sense. There is no need to talk about USB sticks or writing anywhere. The part he needs help with is the part you are glossing over. It's getting the ISO file to the desktop that is the issue. Why would he want a bootable USB stick for VMware Workstation?

                                @scottalanmiller From what he's saying here Scott is that his DVD drive on his laptop doesn't work, which is where he's running VMWare from to test ISO's.

                                He needs to get the media off of the DVD and onto a USB or boot over PXE for his laptop.

                                  Of course, because you can't copy a filesystem, it doesn't work that way. Nothing there to make it bootable. You need to image it.

                                    He needs to get it converted to a file rather than a DVD. Making a bootable USB doesn't help the situation.

                                      PXE? That's a remote boot system over the network! He just needs to copy the file like any normal person. Sneakernet, over the LAN, whatever. Let's solve his issue first before going down other rabbit holes.

                                        Please wait the DVD is already in bootable format.
                                        The bootable format is able to boot in desktop when tried to install it.
                                        I need to convert this bootable DVD to .iso format to show the file to install in my VMware workstation

                                          Yes, all of which I said AND provided the command above on how to do it.
