I have a problem:
Every time i try to install a *nix OS on my VMware Workstation 9 it crashs
by the step "copying Files" at 79% and says that something is wrong with
my CD/CD Drive and asks me wether I have burned my Installation CD
too fast or wether I used Fastburn.
I have tried very much and searched very long but I couldn't find anything
about this error.

Make sure your Kali Linux ISO is not corrupted while downloading.
Check its SHA1 and compare your checksum result with value at
Kali download site.

Ok i'll try that but I don't think that it will solve the problem
because I also have a Live USB made with this ISO and
everything works fine on this USB and because it's not only
Kali. Every Linux OS I tried to install (Kali,Ubuntu and
Debian) crashed at this step during Windows is working
fine.

I get an error every time after step 32

I get "The grub-pc package failed to install into /target/" after "configuring
the package manager" option during the install process.
The weird thing is that I dont even get the GUI option for "Install the GRUB
boot loader to the master boo record" YES or NO.
This worked flawlessly in another lab setup with same software and
versions etc.

I also tried the install without network connected - same problem.

How can I resolve this ? Maybe I can install grub in command line instead
?
