How to make a partition during the installation of ESXi 5.0

Dear Sir.

I want to install ESXi 5.0 on my HP compaq 6200MT machine, I have 2 500 GB HARD drives. Problem is I don't know how to create the partition and in what phase of the installation.

When I run Setup it does not give me any part where I should partition.

Moreover, I want to install ESXi 5.0 in the format below.

/ 5120 MB ext3

1600 MB swap

/ Home ext3 2048 MB

ext3/tmp 2048 MB

ext3/var 4096 MB

/ opt ext3 2048 MB

/ boot ext3 250 MB

vmkcore 100MB

Your help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Malik Adeel Imtiaz

The ESXi uses about 5 GB of disk space for internal use, the rest could be used for your virtual machines. Running a Microsoft Cluster virtual has many different conditions, but it might be possible to install in your situation (assuming of course that it is a test configuration). See this document for more information on the configuration of the "cluster-in-a-box", page 10:

  • Cannot create a partition during the installation of Windows 7

    When I want to create a new partition on the unallocated space during the installation of Windows 7 in custom option on that I enter the size of the partition size I wanted and click apply, but nothing happens and cannot install Windows 7, but the same thing can be done by my old Windows XP CD. My computer is Dell Inspirion - 620... When I was clicking on an already partitioned space to install, error message is that there was not much free space in partitioned space was similarly if I formatted the partition of 75 GB and all 75 GB of free space and so on showing the screen.

    Try to increase the size of the partition and see what happens.

    Windows 7 would probably work on a 75 GB partition, but you will run out of space real fast at that size. A minimum of 120 GB would be better.

    Another thing you could try is to simply create a major score for the entire disk, then after you have installed Windows, go to "disk management" and create your other partitions.

    Personally, I don't see what good it does to have multiple partitions on the same drive. If the drive fails, all of your partitions went anyway.

  • How to make Vista partition on the HARD drive as first with recovery CD

    Hello

    I want to format and retrieve information from my 'Vista' (C: / /) partition, which is the first. But when I choose the option "Format and recover to a first partition on your hard disk (without RE) ' the computer began to recover in" Type of Partition: windows NT NTFS (ID: 07) "whose size is only 1.50 GB.

    In the middle of the process, it shows not 'enough space on a disk.

    Question: How to make a 'vista' first partition? What is 'the first partition' in the second formatting option and recover the system?
    Thank you for your answers

    Hello

    Sorry, but you will not be able to do. I know it's a bad situation but if you use the first option that the whole HARD disk will be formatted and C new partition created. Second option, that you can not use at all. I tested it with my Satellite A100.

    I called Toshiba and they said that Toshiba work on new recovery options and new notebooks will have the best recovery option. Something like old installation expert ghost mode.

    I know it's wrong, but unfortunately there is nothing to do.

  • Mac lost during the installation of windows

    When installing windows on a MAC, I deleted my partition mac completely and I am now left with windows 7 to my mac book air. Y at - it an option to install mac, I don't mind losing the windows partition

    Hello smarthala,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you deleted by mistake your Mac partition during the installation of Windows. The partition itself deleted or was it the Mac OS that has been erased, leaving an empty partition?

    If the latter, you can reinstall OS X from OS X Recovery. See this article for how that should be done: On OS X Recovery
    Otherwise, you can use Internet recovery (Command-Option-R, as opposed to the command-R) to repartition the entire hard drive and install the version of Mac OS X provided on your Mac. Who is finished, you can upgrade to El Capitan via the App Store > bought.

    Best regards.

  • HP envy m6 w103dx: how to make new partitions?

    The thing is that if I use the disk management software, it does allow me to have my desired partition size, if I do the partition during the installation of Windows and then I have to lose my OS and I read on the so pure support forum, I installed OS, I'd lose software recovery and content of the recovery partition is visible and they cannot be reinstalled.

    So I'm always reluctant to do a clean install, because I don't really want to lose the recovery options, but don't really care about OS.

    @Tayyab1

    If you try to reduce the C partition and are not able to reduce beyond a certain point, this is often due to locked file - try turn off windows system restore to the C partition, reboot and then temporarily disable the pagefile.

    I hope that you will now be able to reduce the partition to the size you require - once this done, re-enable the system restore and page file.

    Kind regards

  • How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    Hello

    You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

    However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

    Let me know if I can help you with this question or any problem related to Windows.

  • I entered incorrect information during the installation. How to fix it.

    During the installation of windows xp pro, I was asked my name, then the name of the computer (don't remember if it was a part of the whole upward to the network or whateer domain).  Now there are files under my documents that are appointed;

    Administrator (it is fine).

    All users (it is fine).

    All Users.Windows (where it comes from and how do I get rid of it).

    Default user (it is fine).

    My name (it is fine).

    My name of Name.Computer (again, where it come from and how do I get rid of it)

    I install XP on systems of the House several times that I can remember, but I never encountered this problem.  I tried to delete the folders and it is said that they are system files and cannot be deleted.  I guess I could reinstall windows and go through the hassle of revalidation and explain to MS that it is the same computer, but I would avoid it if I could.

    Thank you

    The directories "Users.Windows" and "Name.Computername" are examples of directories that are created after a corrupted profile.  When a new user (for example, "MyName") is created, then you will find a "Myname" folder in "Documents and Settings".  If the profile "Myname" is damaged, Windows will create a new profile "MyName.Computername" and start to using them, leaving the old profile.  You can get the date in your profile corrupted by using one of the following methods:

    "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

    "How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151 >

    If you have the data recovered from the corrupted profile and you want to delete the damaged profile, and then you must do the following:
    Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> Advanced (Tab)-> "Settings" (in the user profile Section)
    Then you should be able to select the profile that you want to get rid of and press 'delete '.
    Note that if you have both 'MyName' and 'MyName.Computername' writings, the "myname" is without doubt the deceased profile and "MyName.Computername" is probably the active profile... Make sure that you remove the right pair.

  • Error 1935. error during the installation of Assembly--how to fix?

    Hello

    Recently, I lost my laptop (a Lenovo X201t Win Ultimate running any Bluetooth capabilities (64-bit).) The problem started when Windows Update offered me an option "Bluetooth with Enhanced Data rate software II v6.2.1.3100 (7ZBV19WW)" upgrade. This update of first removed the existing Bluetooth SW and then started to install the new version. Towards the end of the installation (i.e. when the progress bar has reached almost 100%) all of a sudden the next popup appeared:

    -----------------------------------------------
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.ATL, type = 'win32-policy', version = '8.0.50727.42", publicKeyToken ="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture ="amd64"'.

    See Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0X800736FD. assembly interface: returned IAssemblyCacheItem, function: commit, component: {51B6FD4C-6551-1104-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
    -----------------------------------------------

    I googled around fragments of the above error message, but appearently it signals a significant problem. Some discussions I've found comes to the conclusion, that some registry entries do not have the correct permissions, in most of the other discussion gave, had something that was wrong with the subsystem that some libraries .NET and .NET (most listed some "MS Visual C++ 200 x Redistributable" as guilty) were opposed or had been corupted or put in an inconsistent state.

    I tried various tips in these discussions, but nothing has worked so far, so I ask here:

    • What really does this error mean?
    • Can we deduct sort of info in the above message, what to do or where to look for?
    • How can I locate or identify the library or component (or other) that is the cause, so that I can try it in- or reinstall first we hope to solve this problem?

    I really need my bluetooth capability! I use it regularly to synchronize with my cell phone and listen to music and I can't wait these two functions no longer work!

    Michael

    PS. : in case this requires some "open heart surgery" on the system: I'm comfortable with all kinds of windows of Mgmt. Tools, edit the registry, etc etc - so no problem! I also took a recent disk image (alas, taken only after the error appeared), so still some changes difficult to solve this problem would be fine with me...

    Hello

    If you receive a 1935 error when you try to install the software, the Windows file system transaction log is corrupted. The transaction log is used by the Windows file system to recover when a file error occurs. It can also occur if an error occurs with the installation of .net Framework.

    Step 1: To correct this install error, you must clear the log.

    a. open an administrator command prompt: right click on start > all programs > Accessories > command prompt and select "run as administrator" and click "allow" for the elevation prompt

    b. in the command prompt, type the following command:

    true fsutil resource setautoreset C:\

    c. which assumes that C: is the drive where Windows 7 is installed. If it is installed on another drive as D: Please change the appropriate drive letter.

    d. restart the system.

    e. install the software and check.

    Step 2: Start the Trustedinstaller Service. It is possible that the Trustedinstaller service do not appear in the service list. If you must change the registry value to 'active' in the system registry.

    To do this, you must:

    a. type "regedit" without the quotation marks in the start search box.

    b. in the Registry Editor window, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > control.

    c. in the "Registry Editor" dialog box, double-click on 'RegistrySizeLimit'. This opens the "Edit DWORD value"dialog box.

    d. in dialog box "Edit DWORD value", enter ffffffff as the 'hexadecimal " value." Click on the "Decimal" radio button and enter 4294967295 value 'Decimal' . Click OK.

    e. restart the computer.

    f. log as long as administrator, open an command prompt and type SFC/scannow.

    Once the process is complete, reinstall the program that challenges you to install.

    Important:  This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link:

    Step 3: Repair of .net framework and check.

    Repair the installation of Microsoft .NET Framework

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start, click Control Panel and then click on Add / Remove programs.

    b. in the list currently installed programs, click Microsoft .NET Framework and then click Change/Remove.

    c. click on repair, and then click Next.
