Ah well that explains it, I'm running version 1.x (I did upgrade to 2, but it caused problems with some of my apps so I downgraded)

Hope this one gets solved

What have you got at the moment?

An ISO? DMG? Flat files?

What you need to do is create a new bootable disk. Easiest way to do this (as far as I know) is to use something like Toast to create a new bootable ISO files, put the files in that. You will then be able to mount it in Disk Utility, and use it in VMWare

right i have a dmg that is 6.4gb
that i converted to an iso at 6.3 gb
through disk utility.

so cant seem to find a cd big enough

You need a dual layer DVD

Yes, although the post before mine says that he didn't have a disk big enough, so I told the OP what he sort of disk he required

It begs the question, why do you want to run Mac OS X Server then?
