Thanks for all your replies! I failed to mention that I did try to increase the size of the VMWare virtual disk by 15gb and didn't fix the issue. I also failed to mention that my current platform is windows 7 home premium edition.
About the bootable USB... I did make it through UNebootin, but for the distribution I chose Ubuntu.. Not sure if that's correct. I did test the USB stick on my physical/actual computer and was able to see something when I would boot from it. When I do go and check the BIOS for my linux lite VM I can't see that exact USB drive -_- . I do however see it in VMWare; I see it in VM -> removable devices. I also used my original image for my linux lite, the 2.6x version. It's possible I didn't create a proper bootable USB, I'd like to make sure I'm selecting the correct distribution.
I'm assuming there really is nothing else to try? My only option is to use a bootable USB to get in and correct the problem?
