It looks like your USB ports on your laptop aren't working.
Picture 1 See the Blue USB symbol, that must be showing. This means 2 things.
1) You've added a usb controller to your vmware machine,
2) If it blinks green The VMware machine is talking to the usb device.
If it's not there. Then check windows hasn't stolen control. You can force vmware to take the usb device back by following picture 2.
Seeing as it's also not working when you boot from the cd, it looks there's something wrong with the usb port itself.
