Thank you Nico for your tip.
As per your advice I enabled the support for the CPU and now I am able to
use full Virtualization.
I have two more question that I would appreciate your advice:
1) Is there any performance differences between para and full
virtualization ?
2) What is better to create the virtual machine as a separate partition or
as a file ?
Thanks
Ido

You need full virtualization to do a CD installation. Does your CPU
support that? If so, enable it and select full virtualization instead of
hte para-virtualization you're currently seeing.
