• During the installation of Windows 7 or 8.1 using a USB stick - get the message "cannot be installed, it is a GPT.

  Hello

  During the installation of Windows 7 or 8.1 using a USB stick - get the message "cannot be installed, it is a GPT partition.

  I have 64 bit install discs for Win 7 and Win 8.1. These two install on my desktop in duel boot. I made a Flash DRIVE of each disk so I can install it more quickly.

  Problem: I get the cannot install because it is a GPT partition.

  Y at - there no way to make these 2 USB sticks work?

  Thank you, Brad

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.

  The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.

  

  In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

  

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• ESXi Installer 6.0u1a & 6.0u1b not recognizing not not on MacPro 6.1 USB keyboard

  I just got 2 new MacPro 6.1, delivered 2 days ago and was aware of the possible SSD being not recognized error but am willing to deal with that. My problem is that once the boots MacPro Setup ESXi charge from a USB memory key and gets all the way to the press ENTER to continue the installation of the keyboard (or any USB device?) seem not to be recognized. I tried with a different Installer .iso 6.0u1a & 6.0u1b, they both exhibit the same behavior. BIOS versions on these seem a little bit newer than what I saw in the nets SSD, so I don't know if another thing Apple that the SSD has changed lately. The version of the BIOS MP61.0116.B16. It does not recognize the keyboard and start the Installer off USB first. I just can't continue the installation. I tried several keyboards as well. Apple, Dell, HP basic keyboards. If I start with it or plug it in once I get started, I didn't even not a NumLock led light. Any suggestions?

  Hi ejerue,

  Please use the keyboard USB extender that comes with the Apple keyboard (even if you don't need the extra distance it provides).  It is the typical solution.

• New to ESXi ESXi installation USB or local disks operation best practices?

  I'm new to Vmware and run a small store, what is the best practice or best method to install the OS ESXi.  I currently have a few that I have installed on the usb stick on the server Board.  After some research it would be better to have two small drives SSD that I can raid with the operating system, then another RAID for the VM data store.  USB is a single source of failure.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Hello

  Having the internal hard drives in RAID1 for the o/s will certainly to avoid a single point of failure, as you pointed out correctly. At present the death of your USB key, your host problems quite quickly, and you will need to get a new one and re-install again. You could save your good host configuration and realistically - it does take too long to rebuild a crowd if he dies. Lose other stuff like network configurations and others would however be a pain!

  I think I have two SSD internal drives in RAID1 for the o/s is probably overkill. You will have an advantage any speed of startup, but realistically most of the servers restart everything often and once that ESXi is in place and operational it is very little activity on the disks, a config updates every so often and so on. I'd be inclined to use a SSD to create a Cache of the host for the swap drive, like that you can actually use the SSD and get more performance for your money.

  Many manufacturers (like Dell) use internal SD cards in RAID1. While SD cards are not known to be very robust, because of the congestion of ESXi and the minimum number of necessary paperwork once installed initially, it makes a less expensive alternative to business class for the o/s disks.

  In regards to your data warehouses, having an internal RAID your local disks is best if you use a stand-alone host with no storage attached to the network. You always have the problem of failure of the host if.

  See you soon,.

• Move the existing 5.5 ESXi installation of the HARD disk on USB.

  I need help on what would be the best approach to move my existing ESXi 5.5 install the HARD disk to the new USB.

  Then you tell your environment uses the local disk to your VM data store (s)? In addition, you want to move your partition ESXi to USB and recover the local disk space? I think if it was me, the the more safe thing to do would be to shut down the system, pull on the local drive on just enough to disable / he dethrone, insert the USB key and run ESXi installation. Then (after checking the boot order) reinstall the local disk and boot the system. Once the USB key version boots, make your configurations (DNS, NTP, license etc.) and add the data store (s) existing local drive. You can then add existing virtual machines via "navigation" of the data store (s).

• Rufus (free utility) takes 2 minutes to create a USB bootable for ESXi installation starting source who becomes the target of the installation, even for 5.5

  Just info, one of these open Windows source rare beads that are becoming more and more difficult to find on the web these days, in the middle of a see payloads of downloader.

  Rufus I found to be very convenient for the quick creation of a USB flash drive you can start from, and then only install, for ESXi, no command-line stuff to memorize necessary and very fast:

  TinkerTry.com/rufus-takes-2-minutes-to-create-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-for-esxi-installation

  works very well with ESXi 5.5 also:

  TinkerTry.com/download-vsphere-5-lab

  and when finished with this flash drive and you want to use it for something else (but normal reformatting does not work), she who manages, even on Windows 8.1:

  TinkerTry.com/rufus-lets-you-quickly-and-easily-reformat-an-esxi-usb-flash-drive-back-to-full-capacity

  Especially useful for people to start who shy away from Linux VMware procedure:

  Format a USB to start the ESXi Installation or upgrade

  Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

  Windows diskpart commands or potentially dangerous. Really fair, fast and useful for pretty much everyone.

  Thoughts and opinions?

  Just a follow up on my comment about several injection of VIB in the ISO that you use as a file source for Rufus (a few months back, seen above):

• Server does not start after the installation of the USB bootable, ESXi

  Hello

  I installed VMware ESXi 5 on a SSD drive using a bootable USB key, but my server does not automatically start since the SSD after installation. I can boot ESXi in the offered by the BIOS boot menu.

  The startup configuration is perhaps incorrect because during the installation of the USB drive is present, but after the installation, it is not?

  Also has anyone seen this problem?

  Kind regards

  Updating the BIOS on the DQ77MK at 49, and you should be able to start - UEFI must never be activated.

• ESXi 4 - Mount USB Stick in GuestOS

  Hello @ all,

  I'm not able to see one plugged in USB stick in my guest operating system. The machine has a USB controller that is installed in its settings, but everything I did the plugged in stick does not appear in the machine. I tried XP & 2003, same behavior.

  It works at all?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  You can add USB controllers in virtual machines, but connect devices is not supported.

  Good luck!

• ESXi installs several scripts and other questions fun!

  Hello

  I've been messing around with a USB stick and have a first installation works well (after a lot of messing around!)  I wish I had installed several out there so I can just choose a facility and off it goes my syslinux.cfg is below:

  label rebuild Server 1

  menu label ^ rebuild Server 1

  kernel mboot.c32

  Add vmkboot.gz ks = usb---vmkernel.gz---sys.vgz---cim.vgz---ienviron.vgz---install.vgz---mod.tgz

  label rebuild Server 2

  menu label ^ rebuild Server 2

  kernel mboot.c32

  Add ks2 vmkboot.gz usb---vmkernel.gz---sys.vgz---cim.vgz---ienviron.vgz---install.vgz---mod.tgz =

  I made a copy of the cfg file and renamed it to ks2 and added that ks2 = usb.  I have no idea why the first works and is not the other.  Obviously, I'm not that linux savvy and someoen can point me if all is well in the right direction.

  The second question I have is - how the hell can we change the keyboard available UK?  Is it possible to add a script?

  The very, very last question is... is - it possible to deploy HP Systems Insight Manager by script?

  Thanks a lot, a lot, if you've read so far!

  In addition, you my want to specify a path of your the KS.cfg isolinux.cfg file.  Also, so that this works, you must specify the path to uppercase.  your isolinux.cfg may resemble

  label Rebuild Server 1
  menu label ^Rebuild Server 1
  kernel mboot.c32
  append vmkboot.gz ks=usb:/KS.cfg --- vmkernel.gz --- sys.vgz --- cim.vgz --- ienviron.vgz --- install.vgz --- mod.tgz
  
  label Rebuild Server 2
  menu label ^Rebuild Server 2
  kernel mboot.c32
  append vmkboot.gz ks2=usb:/KS2.cfg --- vmkernel.gz --- sys.vgz --- cim.vgz --- ienviron.vgz --- install.vgz --- mod.tgz
  

  FWIW.  We identify our files kickstart with the host name of the ESXi Server

• Problem with ZTE MF190 Dongle (USB Stick Modem)

  I have a ZTE MF190 Dongle (USB Stick Modem), which is a plug-and-play device. It was to find work on my Windows 7 Ultimate with my Acer Aspire 4720Z but recently it does not HSPA or any other signal, unless I have to uninstall and reinstall all the time before using it. When I do this, it installs the following drivers:

  Composite USB device
  ZTE Diagnostics Port (COM6)
  ZTE to Port (COM7)
  ZTE ATExt2 Port (COM5)
  With a Modem ZTE USB owner
  Network adapter Broadband Mobile ZTE
  USB Mass storage Device
  ZTE MMC storage device

  But he informs me that "ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM" cannot be installed.

  This missing driver would be the reason why I am facing this problem. If Yes, where can I get this coz I looked everywhere including the website of the manufacturers without result.

  Hello

  Certainly, this looks like a problem with the drivers. The manufacturer has a way you can get in contact with them at all? It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to write drivers for the devices that are compatible with Windows.
  Another thing to do is to make sure to have all your drivers chipset update of the website of the manufacturer of the computer.
  You say that you have an Acer, so go here: http://support.acer.com/us/en/default.aspx
  You can find model specific computer and download all the drivers updated in need of your system.

• is it possible to download windows 7 on a USB stick and install it on a computer wiped

  is it possible to download windows 7 on a USB stick and install it on a computer wiped

  Yes, but you must do what is necessary. ISO that you create on a USB bootable copy.

  Prepare the. ISO installation file.

  See the instructions for burning. ISO in Windows 7 or later files:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file

  You can also use the Microsoft USB/DVD tool, which is recommended for users of Windows XP.

  After getting the file .iso that you use it Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a bootable DVD or USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash to at least 4 GB key).

  

  For UEFI systems based

  If your computer is UEFI, they are normally the systems that come pre-loaded with Windows 8 or later, you need prepare the ISO for such a configuration file or you will receive an error during installation. The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

  After installing Rufus:

  • Launch it
  • Select the ISO Image
  • Point to the file ISO for Windows 10
  • Check create a disk bootable using
  • Select GPT partitioning to EUFI firmware as the Partition scheme
  • Choose FAT32 NOT NTFS as file system
  • Make sure that your USB in the device list
  • Click Start
  • Close when you are finished

  Begin the installation.

  The following describes the standard way to start the installation, especially if you are in dual boot a 64-bit version of Windows 10 alongside a 32-bit version of Windows. Another way is to start from a version of runing Windows installation and select the partition where you want to install Windows 10. See below for instructions how.

  If pse8 was a upgrade valid for ps cs4, it should be available in the drop-down list when you start the installation of cs4.

  or, if you are right, you could install pse8 first and then install ps cs4.

• ESXi & Installer hangs when starting

  Hello

  I looked around and looked for my problem-related entries in the forum, but I couldn't find anything...

  Here is my problem:

  * New server Fujitsu TX200 S7:

  2 x Xeon CPU / 64GByte = 16GByte RAM 4 x / 4 x SAS HDD 600GByte / RAID LSI Ctr RAID0/1/5/6/10/50/60 mit FBU - Erw. + Modul TFM / DVD - RW / embeddet USB Device of the UFM

  I experienced enormous problems to start with the installer of vmware esxi 5.1 (or 5.0) CD ROM or esxi host 5.1.

  What works with the above server:

  * Install it is an os windows 2012 std server on the raid system is executed without absolutely no problems

  Start the success of server std 2012 win every time.

  * Setup a esxi host 5.1 on the server, but only subsequently install Fujitsu «server see DVD»

  What does NOT work with the above server: (every time, never had a successful boot)

  Booting with the esxi 5.0 installation CD original fujitsu - fails!

  * Start with one (from vmware) downloaded fails - esxi 5.1 installation CD!

  * Start with one (from fujitsu) downloaded fails - esxi 5.1 installation CD!

  Start a successuflly by the Fujitsu 'Start Server CD' installed esxi host 5.1 on this server - fails!

  * Test: start without lsi sas controller (without any disk hard sas) - the server starts faster (without the lsi raid controller firmware)-, but fails.

  * Test: starting with half of the installed RAM - fails!

  The symptoms of what happens during startup and cannot:

  * First step of booting (bundle of progress on the top of the screen) will run successfully

  * During the first seconds of the second stage (starting ESXi Kernel, beam of progress is displayed on the bottom of the screen), the computer did a hard-reset and the startup process begins once more.

  So I don't know what I could do.

  Because all windows system works perfectly, I would exclude a hardware error

  On the other side, Fujitsu specifies this server with this equipment compatible with esxi, then I do not understand that no esxi (Installer) will be initialize to top.

  So, what could be the reason why the software does not start?

  How can I know the reason why the systems do not initialize-go to top?

  Thank you very much for any suspicion solve my problem!
