Urgent help: VMware workstation 8: Unable to boot OS without USB disk

$

Hi

 

I dont have a dvd rom/rw nor i have any ISO file of any OS.

 

So I created a bootable USB pen drive from my office to be able to install server 2008 on VMware workstation 8 for practicing purpose.

 

Installation etc all went good.

 

But now whenever i want to load the OS in vmware, i always have to plugin that bootable usb drive else it wont boot. Else it will stuck and loop at network pxe loading screen.
Went into vm bios and did required settings but no good.

 

On pendrive it has created BOOTSECT.BAK file.

 

I want it to boot without the pendrive.

 

In the vm machines settings i removed the pendrive (physical harddisk option) and just kept the .vmdk virtual disk but it still doesnt help.

 

Please help guys.
