If you get the error "src0 appears to have a partition already mounted......" it is probably because you are trying to install to the cd/dvd drive (sr0 in linux-speak) rather than the vm hd (sda in linux-speak).

there are 4 screenshot files attached here. i see them. don't you see them ?
when i right click & open the mount tools, the only item exists here is src0 . i hit refresh but no sda is shown there. :-(
Juanito:
I thought you were going to use the tc-install extension provided with the CorePlus iso to install to the vm hard disk - this doesn't need you to use the mounttool gui...
No, I don't see the screenshots.
Are you attaching a file of the screen shot or using img tags and a url (many countries block imaging pasting sites)?

OK - I see the attachments now.
As suspected, you are trying to install to a cd/dvd drive.
Maybe in your vm you need to add a hard disk in the setup (under storage or similar) before it will appear in client applications?

i have 2 SCSI hard disks and one IDE hard disks in my virtual machine hardware configuration.
using F2 key we can enter into BIOs of that Virtual machine and as i checked, hard disks are detected in the BIOS.
please guide me which one of these installation types i must select in the page in the following screenshot ( i recall that the only things i need in my TinyCoreLinux VM are:
1- being able to install "open-VM-tools" in it
2- wired network connectivity" to be able to ping other virtual machines
