How do I boot ESXi from a Flash drive

Hello, I have a LENOVO G570 and want to boot ESXi from a flash drive.

Question-if I boot from a flash drive, ESXi install on my hard drive?  I don't want that it installed on my drive hard because I have Windows 7 installed on LENOVO G570.

Without taking into account the fact that your hardware is not supported to run ESXi in native mode, you might be able to install ESXi on a USB key. However, the VMFS data store (where is stored the VM) must be on the hard drive (no USB device is taken in charge).

If you want to try ESXi, you can be better egg to run as a virtual machine using VMware Workstation. That's how many of us do this to test and practice.

    Original title: I have a HP Netbook who don't has no drive CD how can I fix/reload XP from a Flash drive

    I have a Compaq-mini-CQ100 NET accountant who doesn't have a CD player, OS is windows XP home, that the drive has bad sectors, which in fact no longer starts. I can't start in safe mode, I get the blue-screen-of-death with DLL missing. Currently I am running UBUNTU from a flash drive. How can I repair/reinstall XP via UBUNTU or a bootable flash drive.

    Regards Mr C Gulliver

    I would not hold your breath waiting for the Member States to create a download of XP home whether or not you have a valid license.  In fact, I wouldn't count on them for anything whatsoever.

    If you do not have to any web site using a system that works, it's a problem.

    I don't know if a copy of an older version of XP in the flash player works or not - I just made flash bootable XP Recovery Console drives for questions like yours.

    You need to solve your problem of file missing the old fashioned way.

    When you start in Recovery Console XP from a flash drive, you should be able to simply replace your missing file because XP has copies of it on your system in other places.

    A copy of the file should be here:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    or depending on your installation, you can find it here:

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    But it might be one of your unspecified qurantined application antivirus/antimalwre (actually deleted) file.  It of more unknown information, through MS Answers forum request no system information when a new question is asked (you need to do now).

    It is quite common for the XP Recovery Console or even installing XP does not recognize the SATA disks (at least when starting from CD).  There are dozens of different laptop models like yours then has no way for us to know that you have a SATA drive.

    I have SATA drives too and do not have this problem, but I think that my system is afraid of me.

    In order to get these SATA drives recognised (in general), you must enter the BIOS of your system and find the section where the interface for device is configured and temporarily SATA change to something the Recovery Console will recognize (since I don't see your BIOS, I can't tell you what it is), replace the missing file by copying , restart and change the BIOS to what it was before.

    Be sure to take note of all the BIOS settings that you change so you can change them at the time where you did or if your situation deteriorates.

    I also suggest that Hiren's Boot CD from time to time and they have download instructions and their stuff from a USB Pendrive to start here.  I've never seen Hiren require any setting BIOS on a SATA drive, but I don't have your system.

    If this does not work, you should visit the Support of Compaq forums where this subject is a frequent topic of discussion.  You're not the first person in the world to have need to start their a USB device Compaq mini to fix something.  This is the Windows XP Help forum - not the Compaq help forum.

    Good luck waiting on MS to help you!

    Will this work? The laptop will use the Windows CD in the drive of the laptop to load the operating system?
    How to make this connection?

    Hello

    You usually have an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from the Windows XP disc or the Toshiba recovery disc.

    But there is a method that allows you to install Win XP using the 2 GB USB key.
    This is possible because the NB100 BIOS supports booting from USB key.

    Pease check this Web page:

  • How to transfer pictures from a flash drive on mac i

    don't know how to transfer pictures from a flash drive on mac i.

    Plug a flash drive on your mac.  Flash drive icon should appear on your desktop.  There are adapters for sd camera cards.

    You may be prompted to add pictures to the photo app.

    If not or you do not want to add photos to the app, you can double-click the flash drive icon. You may need to explore the folder where are the pictures.  Drag and drop the photos where ever you like.

  • Can't boot from USB Flash Drive on Yoga 13

    I had a USB bootable with linux on it live and I tested it it works on another computer but I can't get my Yoga to boot from it. I wet to settings-> General-> advanced startup and then I clicked on the option USB but the computer is restarted, he said that there is no bootable USB devices. Someone able to boot from a flash drive?

    Hello and welcome,

    What linux distro do you use, and it is able to start on a UEFI system?

    I'm guessing here since I don't have a machine like yours, but I guess that BIOS refuses to see the USB if it doesn't have an appropriate structure of UEFI boot on it.

    You may be able to start the flash player by accessing the BIOS and setting the mode of inheritance.

  • How to transfer pictures from the flash drive for PC

    Uploading images to a flash drive

    a friend gave us a flash player that has pictures on it. I plugged it in and it turns on but I get nothing on my screen says thast there download or anything like that. How can I get my photos once they are uploaded?

    They don't automatically upload. In some versions of Windows, when you insert any type of removable drive (flash disk, CD, DVD, etc.) you will get a dialog box asking what you want to do with the content. I find it quite annoying, but, in this case, it would be useful, because then you can choose from various options that may include any software you have to display the photos.
     
    As this did not happen, press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer, click Folders in the menu to display the folders pane, then click the icon that represents the flash player. You should see (depending on your display options), a list of the icons or thumbnails of the photos. Try a double-click on one to see if some kind of viewer opens (for example, if you have a recent version of the installed office and they are JPEG files, they will probably open in Microsoft Office Picture Manager). If this isn't the case, right click on one and choose open with. You can have a few viable options listed; If this is not the case, click on choose program... and select a probable from the list in the dialog box that opens.
     
    Note that this will only display the photos; they are still on the flash drive. To copy them to your hard drive, you will need to drag them from the flash drive into a folder on your hard drive.

    Can you install this on a USB flash drive, if you don't use no floppies? If you can, how?

    In addition to the above answer, even if your computer supports booting from a usb key, based on my experience, it is easier to use a cd rom. usb Flash drives can be very difficult to use to install windows. I did a couple of times but not without problems. If the computer you are using is able to boot at all, and you do not have a cd rom USB that you can try to install windows over the network.  Install windows from a flash drive is a long process. $30USD for a usb CD-ROM.
