• p6710f, crashes at startup when installing 2 Cruzer of Sandisk USB flash drives

  Hello

  Question: My HP p6710f desktop computer crashes at startup when 2 Sandisk Cruzer USB drive (8 GB/FAT32, a 16 GB/FAT32) is installed in a hub Targus USB2 multiport (connected to the back USB port of p6710f).

  With USB flash drives installed, from a market boot: Boot past the BIOS (blue) screens, then 'underline' cursor blinks just on the black screen and hangs.  It does not start a Win7 from the hard drive.

  With USB flash drives installed, from a bunch of market: If in the (blue) BIOS screen, I hit the ESC and select the hard disk device (which is the top of the "boot device") then boot proceeds normally and boots Win7 from the hard drive.

  If I do the trunk with the key removed USB, the boot process proceeds normally and starts Win7 disk.

  I have flashed to the latest ROM system from the support page of p6710f.  Who really seemed to solve the problem for a while, but the hook finally reappeared.

  I copied all the data on USB flash drives, formatted their 'rapid' and copied all the data back.  No joy.

  Here is a link to the Sandisk Cruzers.  I deleted all the files on U3/etc. out of them, I want all of the space available on them for auxiliary data storage, I can't boot from them:

• ESXi 4.1 installed on a life issue, USB flash drive

  Hello

  I just installed a new server ESXi 4.1 on a (internal port) USB flash drive. I heard these flash drives USB gets used a lot of Scriptures; I do pay attention on the ESXi host to maximize the life of the USB? Maybe switch logs in a data store, if possible?

  Someone at - it information on how long will last my with ESXi USB flash drive?

  Thanks in advance!

  ... what I do pay attention on the ESXi host to maximize the life of the USB? Maybe switch logs in a data store, if possible?

  VMware optimizes access R/W if you install ESXi on a flash or SD drive. If I'm not mistaken, some changes are written only once in an hour. Depending on the size of the flash player, you can configure the location of the scratch partition (which is used for discharges of support etc.) to be on one of your data warehouses (HARD drive)

  Someone at - it information on how long will last my with ESXi USB flash drive?

  This depends mainly on the quality of the drive itself. Some providers (like Dell) offer models of server with two type of a RAID1 SD cards.

• Installing esx 4.0 on USB - someone at - he had problems?

  Hello

  I'm planning an installation on a blade and was hoping that rather than installing esx 4 on hard to install on an internal USB drives. This means that I can use the space in the blade for extra memory. I know that it will work with ESXi, but I'd really rather full use blown esx 4 because I am more used to the way it works.

  Somebody has experiences / questions / comments / limitations with this?

  Thanks in advance,

  The reason why ESXi works, is that it is designed to make minimal wrote on the USB drive. ESX is not and will do a lot of paperwork. You can have success, but I wouldn't count not that it is safe for a long time. ESXi can install on a 1 GB USB key. You probably need at least 10 GB for ESX. A small SSD? HP Blades begin to come with them. Not hot swap is interesting.

• Install ESXi 5 on a usb flash drive

  Guys,

  What is the minimum space required when you install ESXi 5 on a USB?

  Kind regards.

  Hello

  I came across this time, since it doesn't seem to be documented nowhere in official documents, not in the knowledge base and not in vSphere Guides 5.

  But if you run the installation you will be asked to "Select a disk that has a capacity of more than 910 MiB".

  So, this would be the answer I guess

• Does anyone has installed ESX 3.5 on a USB Flash drive?

  Hello

  I read some comments on how to get ESXi on a USB Flash drive, but I wonder if the same thing is possible with ESX 3.5?  The reason why I ask is that many of our ESX servers are wired directly into our DS/4700 IBM SAN for their data warehouses and we currently have local disks for the operating system itself.  Cost-mindedly, it would be wonderful if we can just install ESX operating system on a flash drive $15 (which would never be deleted you mind) as opposed to hard drives IBM overpriced or the boot-from-SAN.  The thought of having an identical set also to go with our identical to our disaster recovery site hardware is also very attractive. If someone could provide an answer on this, I would be very grateful.  Thank you!

  -John

  If you ask if it is possible, yes it's possible.  Incorporated just means it is preinstalled on removable media (usually a flash drive, but it's the same thing).

  With regard to the instructions, google it.  There are a LOT of messages.

• My concerns about installing ESXi on a USB Flash Disk

  Hello!

  There was a lot of messages about installing esxi hypervisor on a usb flash drive, what I've done and I think it's ok because there's no need to waste expensive disks for installation of a very light bone

  But I have a few questions and concerns in this regard. appreciate your answers.

  1 - first of all I can't find my DL380 G7 Server internal usb. can someone give me a link or a picture where he is exactly?

  2 - Suppose that after boot completely the host, something happens on the usb drive. If nothing happens? I think there should be nothing to worry about, because the hypervisor has been loaded into the memory of the server. Am I wrong?

  3 - my concern is to have backup and the ability to restore that very quickly. some time in the past I had a single esxi host. I used powercli and commands appropriate for configuration backup host (I think that the command was something like esx-cfgbackup or like that).

  so if the flash has been corrupted, I would replace it with another and restored the settings that

  but now I host 4 esxi and vcenter. should I worry about this? How should I have backup? I know that SQL backup database of vcenter and its certificate is sufficient to have a backup of the settings of vcenter but on those who are just to vcenter and which are on the host? just want to say, what should I do to be able to replace a faulty usb disk (esxi is on it) with a new and all get back to work as it was?

  Sorry if the questions are easy to answer. I'm just a beginner

  and sorry for my bad English

  Assuming that I don't have the license for the host profiles, what should I do?

  It depends on the complexity of the configuration of the host. You can back up the configuration of the individual hosts or just reconfigure reinstalled once. In a larger environment, you'd probably for example the hosts scripted installation.

  Because the server vCenter Server usually runs as a virtual machine, it is a good idea to do an image based backup (using backup vDR or 3 rd-party applications), and - in the case where you use a dedicated SQL Server - certainly back up the database. For the backup and restoration of vCenter Server, you can also take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1023985.

  In the rare cases where an SD card fails, you can always vMotion virtual machines to another host and then reinstall the host with a new SD card.

• NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

  My laptop TOSHIBA NB 100 has no CD-DVD player.
  Operating system is Windows XP Home SP2.

  Operating system won't start.

  Laptop start not at all so I can't run any kind of test when I turn it on.

  The thank you screen come on it says launch safe mode, the networking of safe mode, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter who I chose, that it does not start it only goes to Windows and looks like its starts but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.

  So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
  The BIOS boot sequence is the USB HDD - FDD - FD - CD memory.

  What are the steps for loading Windows USB flash drive?

  If that does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in the CD - DVD drive laptop.
  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 install Win XP on Qosmio G20 using USB flash memory key

  Dear Admin,

  This is regarding my laptop Qosmio G20.

  Last month my OS (windows XP media edition) has been corrupted so I attempt to reformat and reinstall the operating system.

  But unfortunately my CD/DVD-Rom does not work/play,.

  Then I try to install it via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

  Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

  plezz help me install XP or Vista or 7 those who works there...

  plezzz plezzz sound my laptop preferred

  Thanks in advance

  JAI

  > Then I try to install via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

  Connect the USB flash memory key to the laptop, now switch on and press F12.
  The start menu should appear where you could see all the possible boot devices.

  Do you see the USB boot option in the start menu?
  If this isn't the case, then you will not be able to boot from USB flash memory.

  > Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

  I guess that this is because the RAID drivers was not included!
  Qosmio G20 supports the RAID controller and you add the RAID driver (located on the Toshiba UE driver page) in order to recognize the HARD drive.
  But I put t know if you could do so using another computer I guess that's not possible.

  Maybe you can try to disable RAID in BIOS

• USB Wizard will not automatically install the usb/flash drives

  Hello

  Working on a laptop, I have a strange problem. Insertion of a usb device (disks hard usb flash are all that I tested) opens the new hardware Installation Wizard.
  If I choose "Install the software automatically", the wizard still fails. If I select "Install from a list or specific location", then choose as location c:\windows\inf, it still works. The wizard should not be checking this place on its own?
  Things I've tried:
  -Reinstall the USB devices in Device Manager
  -Microsoft Fix it 50052
  Gateway, MX6441 laptop
  Windows MCE
  Service Pack 3
  All the important updates installed
  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Hello

  It seems that Windows loses somehow USBSTOR.xxx files in the C:\Windows\INF folder. You can simply copy them from (C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_x86_neutral_83027f5d5b2468d3) to C:\Windows\INF, and that might solve the problem.
