Impossible to install a host operating system

Install completely new for vSphere 5.0 on the new Dell server.  vSphere server and client installed on the appropriate machines.  Made datacenter and virtual machine made, but impossible to install OS on it.  Srv Win2008 installation 2.

I tried to install from the customer and welcome CD, install from memory stick and install from ISO on the client.  I've disabled PXE and moved CD at the top of the boot list.  I hit f12 and specifically selected boot to a CD.  I still receive the "could not be found operating system".

I can't find anywhere that tells me how to copy an ISO on the host drive and I do not know shell (said I don't).

Everything I found on google is a dead-end.

Any help would be great!

Welcome to the community - are you sure that the CD is bootable? To copy an ISO file to a data store on your ESXi host, you can use a program like winscp but you will need SSH access is enabled or using browser data store will allow you to copy the ISO file on your desktop into your ESXi hosr -.

  • 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

  • Impossible to install the guest operating system of recovery CD

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion and installed Ubuntu top. I wanted to get out of Windows and thought for my Windows needs little I would just run a VMWare session. But alas I have no installation media. So I ordered the HP "recovery" CD. They have recently arrived and when I try to install them I receive a dialog box stating "this PC is not supported by the system recovery discs! Help! I did not complete installation CD and I'm not going to pay $200 for them. Help!

    Hello David. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. The version of Windows that you got when you bought your system is a HP OEM disc. It won't work that directly on the HP hardware. As you are trying to install it on virtualized hardware, it will not work because the drive does not see the HP hardware.

    The only thing you could do would be to reinstall windows as your primary operating system and then install Ubuntu in a virtual machine.

    Sorry to give you the bad news.

    If you have found this information useful please consider giving points and or the marker said.

  • 10 comments VM Windows will need to be recreated when moving to El Capitan Yosemite in the host operating system?

    I have 8 Fusion installed on Yosemite. I have a guest VM Windows 10 and works well. When I install El Capitan, do I have to recreate the Windows 10 VM guest or it should run with El Capitan as the host operating system? Thank you!

    Hello

    Upgrade to El Capitan shouldn't matter to your guest operating system, it must continue to operate as is.

    However, DO NOT wipe your drive on the update as then it might erase your VM.

    So best thing - as always - is to make a backup of your VM - with the virtual machine closed down and merge not running - before the upgrade to El Capitan.

  • Save the number of the Virtual Machine: expand the size of the virtual disk of Guest OS affect the physical disk on the host operating system files?

    People,

    Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. If something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications will not work. Thus, before expanding the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external.

    I have check the disk hard host operating system Windows 7, the path is C:\VirtualMachine\WindowsServer2003\... When I get to the top of the virtual machine on the external hard drive, simply select the 'VirtualMachine' folder and save automatically. I have 3 questions as follows:

    First of all, if something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications do not work. Can I just delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system?

    Secondly, the problem of the first question does not affect files in the physical hard disk to host operating system?

    Third, if something wrong happens during expand the size of the virtual disk of OS guest, I simply delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system and load the original 'VirtualMachine' from the external hard drive in the host operating system. Works correctly as long as one is the Virtual Machine before Stude the virtual disk size?

    That's right, as long as you have not added and other virtual disks of different folders on the host of the virtual machine, you can probably did not.

    After developing the size of the virtual disk, you must also change the size of the partition in the guest operating system.

  • How to use the host operating system

    According to best practices, how he the host operating system should be used. Applications must be installed on the HOS or it must be installed in HOS and GOS be left to access the application in the virtual machine.

    I would like to create two virtualized partitions

    (1) HOS

    (2) GOS 1

    (3) GOS 2

    So I would like to know if any heavy application must be installed in HOS.

    Keep all the stuff on the guest has some advantages

    -You can run it anywhere where you have a VMWare host. This gives you great flexibility.

    -You can create easy backups, no need to set up the entire operating system again and again and install all applications again and again.

    -You can easily freeze the State of operational guest before making any changes (see before).

    -Depending on your environment, you become what some independent business strategies.

  • Is it possible I can get the virtual computer connectivity after restart to connect to the local network in the host operating system?

    Hi all

    For some reason, I have to disable and then enable the LAN connection in the host operating system. If some virtual machines are running during this time, connectivity all VMs for out-of-world are lost, they cannot connect to the host even more (by running the ping command). I tried a few methods to retrieve the connectivity, but all have failed, for example,

    1. reboot the virtual computer

    2. restart VMware Workstation

    3. restart the corresponding system services in the host operating system

    The only way I can retrieve all is to restart the host operating system itself.

    Yes, is there short any path, I can retrieve the connectivity of these virtual machines?

    Thanks in advance.

  • had to install the new operating system and bookmarks are gone

    Hiya. I had problems with the computer and the fix was to install a new operating system (windows 7 it was old, windows 8 is the new). Most of my old files make the switch, but when I downloaded firefox, my favorites have disappeared. I looked in my profile in the menu, but it's the profile that I created today by downloading firefox. Where can I find my old profile? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Billy

    Was this an upgrade of type "on the spot" where your user folder

    C:\Users\youroldusername\
    

    was intact, or did you end up with a new user folder? In the case of a new user folder, you will find a folder named

    C:\Windows.old\Users\youroldusername\
    

    If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:

    First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then click in:

    Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

    Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

    Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.

    This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/1024189#answer-638319

    A little luck?

    Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

  • DisplayLink Core Software cannot be installed on this operating system - Dynadock

    I have an other laptop manufacturers, and I want to use it in my home office, I bought a Toshiba Dynadock. I installed the software and, during this process, a message is displayed as follows:

    "DisplayLink Core Software cannot be installed on this operating system"

    I have Windows XP Professional, version 2002, service pack 1

    I checked my Services and DisplayLink is NOT present. All other elements of the Dynadock work very well (keyboard, mouse, camera, network etc.), but the screen is blank and I have to use scren laptop which goes against the whole object to have the Dynadock first!

    What can I do to load this software? Are there settings that I can change to allow the DisplayLink load?

    Any help welcome!

    Hello

    I'm not expert Dynadock but one thing is very interesting. According to your assignment, you use Windows XP Home SP1 edition. I wonder what will happen if you have installed SP2 with all latest updates.

    I don't know about you, but maybe you really need to install SP2. I don't see any other reason why this software cannot be installed.

  • When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

    Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.
