Advice on VMware workstation pro

[cmo2025]

Hi guys I’m not sure what’s going on but everytime I try to install Rocky Linux in a VM inside VMware workstation pro I get this error message and I’ve looked inside my hardware section in my VM settings and in my Hard disk section it’s says .vmdk which I’m thinking means virtual disk. What do I need to do to fix my issue of my install failing. Any help and advice is much appreciated.
