by install script usb - copy files

I'm doing an installation by script of ESXi 4.1 from a USB key.  The actual installation and config is fine.  My problem is with some files I want to copy from the USB to the ESXi server.

I have many files on the USB key that I want to copy from the USB key on the server, so I can install additional software after ESXi is installed.  I tried to use mcopy, but show so far the closest I came to success is having on the ESXi Server files before the first reboot, but after the reboot, the files have disappeared.   This is the command I am using:

mcopy - v b-i /dev/disks/mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0:1 \::file1 /PCNS223/file1.copy

I'm not interested in shooting the files on the network; I need to to get them from the usb.  I hope I'm missing something simple and anyone can point me in the right direction.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Rich,

Copy your files in VMFS so that it retains after the restart and you can install the software from VMFS.also you can copy scratch partition if you have configured the partition scratch to point to VMFS

OEM.tgz can be used as a starting point to the top of folder in windows as mentioned by DSTRAVERT

Thank you
Nithin

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

  • Error: Unable to copy file 34 GB VHD in Vista Business 64-bit since hard drive USB 1 TB NTFS format drive.

    I have a big file VHD, > 34 GB. Created a Virtual PC (Virtual PC 2007) image, with disc of cancellations. Installed Win 7 Pro all updates. Office 2010 Pro all updates. Judgment, apply all changes.

    When the copy of the file on a hard disk to another disk Vista hard real partiton, it copies. But whenever I try to copy it to NTFSdrive USB, copy time continues to increase (cancelled when the transfer rate increased to 3 MB/s, time to copy remaining 11 hours 38% copied), the I/O reduction.

    Tried to launch the tool Rich Copy, which reported as 8 I/o operations failed and had to stop copying.

    Check the disk (from the virtual image) gives 314 cases of large files, 4 EA records, 88 business cases, NO problem.

    I tried to disable cancellation drive, start the computer virtual, reboot & running disk error checking, aok.   OS / works fine.

    I can copy other files (virtual hard disk, etc.) in both directions from the USB key. Have executed Optiomizer, disabled Compression and indexing on the USB. The USB is displayed 100% functional and no problem.

    It seems to be a problem with the Vista i/o system and the context of the VHD file. Someone else encountered similar problem on Vista, have a solution?

    Thank you

  • Not able to copy files on USB drives.

But USB installed in drive E, Ive tried to do a shortcut for on mmy desktop USB and drag files into it, but it gives a red circle with a line through it, indicating that it is impossible. Please help me understand what to do!

    Hi mrsstacysmith,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community Forum. As you are not able to transfer data in USB drives, try these methods and check:

    Method 1:

    To verify that USB is causing the problem, try connecting a single USB key and then try to transfer the files from the computer and check if it works.

    Once you get the confirmation, try to connect to the second USB and try to transfer the files from the computer and check.

    If the second USB shows the same error as mentioned try connecting to another USB port and check.

    Method 2:

    Check if USB drives are detected in the Device Manager.

    a. click Start, Type Device Manager in the search box start and click on enter.

    b. expand Bus USB controllers and check if the device is detected.

    c. double-click the device and check if the device status says device is working properly.

    Also check if the USB drive is detected in disk management.

    a. click on Start, Type diskmgmt.msc in the start search box and click on enter.

    b. check if the USB is detected as a drive.

  • Copy files to USB devices with iPhone

    I wonder about USB on the go a get lost in the search for information understandable for beginners with regard

    -having a drive hard usb connected

    -have a connected memory card reader

    -copy files between these devices

    Any suspicion of you guys would like to know

    Peter

    Dear Peter

    There are third-party products on the market that help with the files to copy / paste data from your iphone to a memory. (not sure to transfer data to a memory card)

    This is made possible thanks to a unique double-ended USB + a (usually free) soft key working hand in hand to set the formatting. Since this key you can move the data to your PC.

    some of these gadgets must be loaded and can offer additional storage of 256 GB.

    I hope that answers your question?

    Best wishes

    Hi jamesgillwn,

    1. when exactly you get this error message?
    2. what disc do you use to reinstall?
    3. What is the exact error that appears when you try to start?
    4. at what point of the installation you get the error message?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    Try the steps from the following link:

    Error message when you try to install Windows Vista by using the DVD drive on the computer: "Windows cannot install required files".

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930984

    Note: When you perform the installation, you will lose the data, make sure that you need to backup your data before you perform the installation.

    Hello

    ·        What are your system specs?

    ·        How you try to install windows vista on the system? After the start of the desktop?

    ·        What is the exact error message that you experience when the system hangs during the installation?

    I suggest you to disconnect all external devices that are connected to the system such as (printers, scanners, etc.) and see if the problem is resolved.

    This occurs mainly, if the system (hardware or software) is not compatible with the operating system that you are trying to install on the system. I suggest you to format the partition in which you try to install Windows Vista, and then check if you are able to install the operating system or not.

  • Copying files to a USB drive stops at Midway

    Hi I have a windows 7 (Home premium 64-bit) Laptop drives and two USB ports (a Kingston 16 GB data traveler and another 4 GB Cruzer). I also have an XP laptop. On the XP laptop, I can use the two USB drives to copy files of any size. Both are partitioned NTFS.

    But on the win 7 laptop only cruzer 4 GB works without problem. Whenever I try to copy a file to that drive 16 GB from win 7 playback starts without problem but stop somewhere between the two. It does not shortly after. I tried a number of solutions, including a fix suggested in this forum and still having the same problem. If I copy a file very small (a few MB), she can finish to copy without any problems.

  • Cannot install win10 using iso file training camp

    Boot camp is not allowing me to use the ISO file to install windows iso 10 file.

    It keeps prompting 'NO USB key. There is no usb drive connected to the system. Please insert a USB key to continue. "

    He does not allow me to use the iso file, regardless of the option that I check or uncheck. It's extremely frustrating.

    What is the year/model of your Mac? Your signature says 2013 iMac.

    2015 and subsequent Macs use only ISO and create an internal partition called OSXRESERVED.

    2012-2014 macs need an external USB2 Flash drive, which will be erased/formatted by BC Assistant. The ISO file needs to be disassembled and some elements of the ISO are copied on the USB.

    the problem is:

    2: the installation procedure for Windows XP do not know how to deal with these CDrom devices

    the only way is to return to a DOS (fat32) environment and load the appropriate drivers for your CD-ROM USB from a floppy, then start the BACK-XP Setup (winnt.exe)
