VMWare Windows XP Ubuntu

I was trying to install ubuntu as a Guest OS on my Windows XP.
I started the installation two times and due to some reason I didn't completed it.
After that when I opened up VMWare Server Console, I was surprised to see that the option for creating a new virtual machine was not coming.
I searched on Google and I found a note somewhere that says go and restart the "VMWare Authorization Service" by running services.msc and yes the trick worked.

The second thing is I had downloaded the ISO image of ubuntu now I was not able to find out how do I use this image which is stored on my hard disk so the option is

Select "VM" -> "Settings" click on the CD-ROM drive.
Select the option to use ISO image and use the "Browse" button to locate the ISO image.

And then Start Virtual Machine, it will install the guest OS

Third thing if you have made the VM as private you won't be able to see it in the inventory.
So go to VM Settings uncheck the box for the private setting and you are done.
