Can’t get past installation step when creating a CentOS 8 VM on VMWare Fusion

I’m trying to install a CentOS VM on my 2014 MacBook Air using VMWare Fusion and I can’t get past the installation process. The furthest I get to is where you have to reboot the system and then I get sent back to the beginning of the installation process again.

I increased the size of my hard disk on the VM from 500 gb to 542 gb, and my memory on the VM is now at 3042 mb, with 2 processor cores.

There’s only one hard disk and one CD/DVD.

What can I do to get my VM passed the installation process? Thank you
