ESXi 4.0 Dell T105 "cannot find the boot partition.
Dban Nuke used to wipe my hard drives (two of them).
Unplugged the secondary hard drive.
Installed ESXi 4.0 (declared success).
Machine starts, starts in ESXi 4.0, starts to load, then:
"Cannot find the boot partition.
Others have suggested to set parameter SATA AHCI controller. Not possible in my BIOS. I 'ATA Mode' and 'Off '. "Off" turns off the entire controller and my hard drive is not recognized.
Others still suggested to install on a USB key. Wary of such a hack...
Help, please. There is very little out there on ESXi 4. Even a pointer to VMware documentation with a list of error messages and their meaning/solutions would be helpful (unable to find such a list myself).
I had the same problem that others are with the start-up for the drives. I went with the USB boot and it works very well because it has an internal USB port, it works even better because I'm not burn an external port. I use an older version of BIOS that does not start USB ports have enough fast for the key USB is recognized from a cold start *bummer* but not a big deal. Once this is done, I'm off the coast and run very well.
I would recommend going this way until someone comes up with a better alternative, which I would be interested in doing.

Win 7 Pro, FX6100, 8 GB of ram, 250 GB ssd; cannot find the system partition
Basics are there. It blocks from the tent to set up partitions. I am giving all of the 250 GB SSD to use as seems it and it is just lost. It does work with no partitions, partition of the entire disk. He didn't tell me what he wants. And error messages make no sense.
They are like: (and my response)
cannot find the system partition (do a stupid)
Can not find the installation partition (crikey, I gave you the entire disk, make one)Talk about mega-frustration. How about a useful error message and some useful ways to respond.
>:-((
If the ssd is not recognized in the first part of the installation process, as a location to install win on, you need to check the manual of the card mother about all the necessary bios for its port settings, or weather, you need to install any third-party disk controller.
And if it's a new ssd, must not contain any partition table, unless you have prepared this ssd when you started in one of your other installations win, that can be part of your problem.

Sounds like something crashed. See if you can boot to the recovery (command-R on startup) Partition and select disk utility and then run First aid. If you cannot start the recovery partition, chances are that the player broke down.

I can't find a way to access the startup parameters to access the option "Disable driver signature enforcement"
I used the 2 following ways:

Used a guide from Microsoft (here) and I followed all the steps but I can't find the option.

Power on the laptop, you press ALT + F10 and then follow the steps once you have selected the language and keyboard configuration:Where are the startup options? How to start in safe mode? Should it not like this: this?

Cannot install VMware ESXi 4.1 "cannot find the image of the installed system.
Started in iso ESXi 4.1 downloaded, burned on a CD, CD, go to the screens, press F11 to install. Immediately get the following error:
-
The installation operation failed!
The installation operation encountered a fatal error:
Cannot find the image of the installed system. This is due to the image being not mounted correctly or the CD-ROM not supported.
-
The material is a system of handcrafted with Intel DQ35JO Council, latest version of the BIOS, Intel E6850 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, 2 SATA drives. I know this isn't on the list compatible but is a 'white box '. I installed ESXi 3.5 on it in the past and got it working, and I saw other success stories with this Board/CPU. Yes, I have activated the virtualization mode in the BIOS and powered down/up.
Here is what I tried:
-Redownload VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0 - 260247.x86_64.iso to ensure that it was not corrupt (2 copies, against perfectly)
--Also tried another drive (IDE) CDROM
-Created a bootable USB using uNetBootin 4.7.1 and booted from it
-Switched SATA setting in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE
I get the same exact error. I searched here and everywhere and don't find any reference to this error.
Help - all do you offer for my next step?
Have you had a previous vSphere installed on your system?
I had the same error on my 'white box' (in fact, it is black). I used to run esxi 4.0 (u2) on my Acer X 3300 (6 GB, Quad Core AMD Athlon II). Controllor internal SATA is not supported, but it allows me to use the box for normal windows task and ESXi is sitting on a SDHC 4 GB flash card.
When I started my freshly burned ESX4.1 cdrom, I got the same error. I thought that the fact that maybe there was an existing install on my destination drive (the flash memory card), and that the CD could not perform an upgrade.
So, I tried the upgrade path (first trying to utility of the host and the .xml error message). After reading the manual, I did the upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 using the device of vMA and I must say that esxi 4.1 works great on my white box.
Then I suggest that you try upgrading and see how far that gets you.
Good luck (and a beautiful weekend)

Original title: unerase my hard drive
I had a work beautifully computer (Dell INSP 6000) until I decided to add Media Center to my Xp - sp3. I bought the drive from a seller on ebay with numbers of coa who did not work. The drive has been formatted by attempts of constant relocation. Using XP and Media Center disks, I can get as much blue screen (setup) saying that Setup cannot find the temporary installation files and press f3. It's that I get. I also have a blue screen telling me to insert the diskette labeled 'Windows Automated System Recovery disk' in on the floppy drive. That's all. I am doomed.
