If you have ESXi installed on a USB drive.  Where are the comments operating system installed?

I'm totally new to ESXi.  I googled this answer apparently simple like crazy, but couldn't find a solid answer.  If you install ESXi on a USB key or USB hard drive, where the guest os get installed?  On the same USB device because the ESXi OS is installed?

I have a 40 GB usb hard drive, I want to install it.  I don't want to touch none of the disks in my PC at all, but rather run straight from the USB key (similar to the live linux race).  It will work all fine without any problem? I use it only for the purposes of learning, nothing major at this point.

Welcome to the community,

Unfortunately, this won't work. Virtual machines (i.e. the VMFS file system) are only supported on storage 'fast', i.e. the SSD/HDD or shared storage LUNs. You cannot create a data store VMFS on a USB device.

  • When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot?

    When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot? Referencing external drives through library (Windows V7) becomes a really shiny, totally useless feature without consistency of drive letter. Or unnecessary to be a design goal? I almost had it still works but who finally to 3 minutes). What it will take to make useful new features?

    Windows assigns the first available on the first hard drive connected and one drive letter to another and so on.  Always has, always will. What will help sometimes (but), is to open disk from an elevated command prompt management and adversely affect permanent a letter from your external drive which is much higher than the letters in use.  This will often allow the will to keep a letter.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • re installed XP. Which if I understand correctly it breaks the path (links) here, where are the pictures. Photos are still there. How to make to restore the links to the photos are located under my pictures. Thank you

    I have not read method 4 5 methods before re install XP on top of the instalation of gooseberry.  Somehow, I had picked up Paladan or palladium that froze my system and wouldn't let me go unless I bought it.  So I used the recovery disc to repair XP.  Once I did I found that all my photos did not appear in my photos.  I installed Picasa and can send pictures very well.  I would like to get XP to recognize the photos so I can use Outlook to send photos.

    I read a few other posts and wonder why in method 4 to install in a separate folder?

    The installation disc said repair and I just let it go in automatic mode. How does the system decide which version to boot from?  When it is in a different folder with a new name?  Is it the latest version installed to boot from or what.

    Thank you

    Important : reinstall the Windows operating system or upgrade your OS on-site is a troubleshooting step extreme that you should only take if you fully understand the ramifications and risks involved. If you decide to take this step, make sure that you have the original Windows XP media and product installation key provided with your operating system. If you are not comfortable trying to reinstall or to repair the Windows operating system, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help or bring your computer to a professional repair shop.

  • I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system. Can I do this? I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Windows XP instead of Vista.

    I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Hello

    There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

    1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

    2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

    3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

    4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

    1. the first thing to do is to make sure that the computer is completely virus/malware-free. Googling around this error produced quite a few links where the posters were or had been infected with Spyware Protect 2009 rogue.

    Once the scanning is complete (do not skip the preparatory stages no more), if the problem persists:

    2. double-click on my computer, right-click the icon for your hard drive, click left to get its properties. If you see options to set Quota management make sure that they are disabled.

    3. in the case - BUT ONLY AFTER YOU ARE sure THAT THE MACHINE IS MALWARE/VIRUS-FREE - copy the lines between asterisks (not including the asterisks) below and paste it into Notepad. Save as undopolicy.reg somewhere, you will find. And then double-click the .reg file, that you have just made to melt in your registry. I hope that this will take care of the issue.

  • Impossible to install the guest operating system - no boot from CD

    I am definitely a newbie with VM. I installed ESXi 3.5 on an HP/Compaq ML370. Everything installed properly and I have created a virtual machine. I am trying to install a Windows Server 2003 operating system. I can't boot from the WIndows CD. In the BIOS of the virtual machine, I have the CD first in the boot order. In the settings of the virtual machine for the CD drive, I selected host drive and connect to market. When I turn on the virtual computer, it does not boot from the CD, it goes through startup options and then Reports, it cannot find an operating system. It seems that it does not recognize the CD drive. What troubleshooting steps can I take to do this?

    Another point, the ML370 is a G3, and I believe that the HCL for departures from ML370 G5 or higher, so I don't know if maybe it's a question.

    Thank you

    You must set the start time of your virtual machine

    Change the settings from-> tap Options

    You must set the time in milliseconds. Then turn on the virtual machine

    Place the CD into your CD drive and start the virtual machine for you to connect to your CD-ROM drive. If the domain controller is bootable, the virtual machine will boot from CD

  • Where are the saved files that someone sends you through Skype Windows8

    Hello

    I just bought a new computer that has windows 8 installed above and I must say that I was shocked when I realized that the system is like that running a pad that is so bad, if you want to actually work with the computer.

    Then, I installed Skype and was amazed that there is nothing that you can do with it. No video call?

    I use Skype to send files and make video calls. Now, when someone sends me a file I have no choice where this file is saved... Where are the files stored?

    OS: Windows 8

    Thank you

    type in your windows search bar

    '%AppData% '.
    then you will go to the folder "Skype".
    and there will be a folder with "my received files."

  • Where are the drivers for HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx notebook PC USB?

    I just had a really annoying couple of hours to find out that the next step in my quest to get all four of the USB ports on my HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx Entertainment Notebook PC working again is to reinstall the USB driver.  The problem is this driver seems to be hidden safely in a place where dangerous people like me can't get to work.  Can someone tell where I can get this driver?  Please, humor me - I just fell off the turnip truck and I did what is obvious to search "drivers and support" area of HP one USB for a HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx Entertainment Notebook PC running win7 64 bit driver.  He isn't here.  So where is it?

    You don't need a special usb driver. It is part of the main chipset driver and eventually the operating system itself. If you have problems with the usb ports does not work, it is most likely hardware. However, one thing you can try is going into Device Manager, all that can be uninstalled, the uninstall usb devices, restart and allow drivers to recharge. When I have a laptop with usb problems I boot from a Linux Live CD or a pen and see if the usb ports work with Linux. If yes then your Windows is corrupted somehow. If this isn't the case, then it is material.
