Yuval711:
Thank you all,

I found out that setting the HD to IDE instead of SCSI was the right answer... Although the keayboard/mouse still do not work, at the very least the HD is now being recognized!

@CentralWare - You were right! I appriciate everyone's help! - now on to Tshoot the Keaboad/mouse and I'm all set ;D ;D ;)

CentralWare:
@Yuval711: There are generally two ways to connect to a VM using ESX(i) - the web portal and the client "app."
Using the either interface (if you try one and it doesn't work, go to the other) when you arrive at the desktop, press <CTRL>+<ALT>+<BKSP> - the desktop should end and drop you at the command line interface.  IF SO, we know the keyboard is working through that portal.  If this fails using both portals, you'll want to look into the VM settings for apic, uhci and usb.  If you're running ESX (and not ESXi) it may be worthwhile to down-grade TinyCore (to around version 7.x or so) and test an older kernel; if the older one works I may have appropriate suggestions on how to tweak the old ESX to the newer technology.
