Looks like you're still booting from the LiveCD.

Try to remove the (virtual) CD or configure your virtual machine to boot from the HDD first.

In the virtual machine devices use the mouse to move the cd device down to second in boot list.
Then you only have to press f12 key a VBox start up menu and then select the cd to boot from for the live install part.
Now when you reboot, and after, it starts from the HD.

You can then also select the cd to boot up for a simple repart or rpm correction with
mount point /mnt/myroot /mnt/myhome
and by using the rpm --root /mnt/myroot/

Thank You Guys For Such Quick Reply. Problem Solved! I just removed the live media which the vmware was still using as a start up
