After installing ESXi 5.1 computer does not boot any device

Hello VMware Experts,

This certainly isn't my are of expertise as I work most of the time on the bet network but in any case here is my problem area, and I hope that some of you can help me with this.

So I bought a PC on Ebay hoping that I could define as an ESXi Server (here's the link:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gateway-Intel-i5-3330-3GHz-8GB-1TB-Windows-8-Desktop-PC-DX4870-UB318-/321165075173?pt=Desktop_PCs & hash = item4ac6ee22e5 )

)

So I downloaded ESXi 5.1 and begun to installed

First surprise, I had (it did not recognize my network card, I went to amazon and bought an Intel PCI Express NIC to get there)

After 2 weeks, I received it today.

Finally, I put the PCI network card in the motherboard and begin the installation.

Everything seems to be perfect, great when I had until I completed the installation... I smile and then saw the message Installation successful, remove the CD from the CD room and restart the server.

Right Awesooome! But then the problem occurred.

After that the unit is back from the restart process he did not recognize any boot image installed on the drive hard (hard disk already set from the BIOS as a startup option)

An error message like:

does not recognize the bootable media

I tried re installation, overwriting without success. (Same behavior)

I know it's a very simple process, but what might happen here,

Any ideas?

Kind regards

I have no idea why you install esxi on a metal bere machine but I assume you want for a lab at home.

Well from my experience, when I started to learn Vsphere 5.1 - I was installing windows 7 on a desktop computer - then bought Vmware Workstation - I installed 5 ESXI host on it and tested all the features (HA, DRS, FT, VMotion etc.).

I have a HDD i5 Desktop 2 t and 32 GB of Ram - but you could look for at least 8 GB of Ram it works perfectly.

Let me know if you need help setting up Esxi in workstation...

  • Satellite C650 - after installing Win 7 SP1, computer does not start

    Hello

    When I tried to launch the Win 7 Service pack 1 update, it 'impossible' and now I can't start my computer, even in safe mode. When I turn it on, no matter what I do (including let it run or by pressing F8) results in the message:

    "For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.1.0 (15/12/09)
    Check the connection of the cable!
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE - ROM
    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key ".

    i.e., I can't go to the start menu.

    The only thing I can access is the utility Boot screen by pressing F12. Experience with Service packs, I'm trying to access the system restore to undo the update, but I can't get there.

    Win 7 came preinstalled on my computer and my computer was working fine before I tried to install SP1, so all the solutions / advice would be much appreciated!

    4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password and press ENTER. NOTE: In Windows XP Home Edition, the administrator password is blank by default.
    5. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: cd system32

    7. remove the Windows XP CD in the disc drive.
