Disc read errors are pretty low-level errors from the operating system. It's possible you have a problem with your hard drive (use a utility to check it) or that the copy process that put the image on the disc failed before it was done. If you still have access to the original image, you can note its size and perhaps generate a checksum of the file (it sounds like you are using OSX, so: https://notepad2.blogspot.com/2012/07/mac-os-x-how-to-generate-md5-sha1.html) and compare the source and target to verify they are the same. If the sum program gives the same disc error, or a different checksum, that's confirmation it is more low-level than the applications and you need to try making the copy again.

Copying the Virtual Player folder to a new machine, I get this error trying to mount the virtual drive:
A disk read error occured Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart
I have not found an answer on the Vmware site nor with google.
Note:
I first copies the host Folder from the desktop to iDrive in the cloud.
then on the laptop, i "restored" from the iDrive the VMWare Player folder to the laptop's Document's folder.
