Topic: gparted latest live cd iso keeps on looping on VMware 5.0

Hello,

I have VMWARe ESXi 5.0 and am trying to boot the latest gparted live cd 18.0.1 release, When i boot from the guest VM i see all the options which it asks to boot from gparted but
i am not able to select any one of them and the automatic boot keeps on looping and never boots automatically

Any idea what could be the issue ? how can i make it boot

This is my vmx configuration file . I tried to make this parameter false scsi0.present = "FALSE"  but it did not help me     

.encoding = "UTF-8"                   
config.version = "8"                 
virtualHW.version = "8"                 
pciBridge0.present = "TRUE"             
pciBridge4.present = "TRUE"             
pciBridge4.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"   
pciBridge4.functions = "8"               
pciBridge5.present = "TRUE"             
pciBridge5.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"   
pciBridge5.functions = "8"               
pciBridge6.present = "TRUE"             
pciBridge6.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"   
pciBridge6.functions = "8"               
pciBridge7.present = "TRUE"             
pciBridge7.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"   
pciBridge7.functions = "8"               
vmci0.present = "TRUE"                   
hpet0.present = "TRUE"
