• Is it possible to install Windows 7 on external HARD disk

  That is the problem.

  A friend with a Toshiba laptop (do not know the model right, but probably with win7 - 6 month old machine) has a problem with the internal hard drive.
  He crashed and his does not work.

  It has the toshiba recovery CD and an external hard drive.
  Is it possible for him to install win 7 on the external hard drive?

  (the easy medium woyld be buying a new in-house but for the next 2 months because of his work that it is impossible).

  Hello

  I don t think that it would be possible to install the Windows 7 external HARD disk.
  You should replace the internal HARD disk and should put the new HARD drive in the laptop.
  Then you should be able to install Windows 7 on the new HARD disc.

  Good luck

• 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.

• Install ESXi 4.1 see physical disks rather than raid 1

  Data sheet:

  -CPU Intel X 3450

  -Intel S3420GPLC motherboard

  -2 X Seagate ST3750528AS 750 GB (Raid 1)

  I try to install esxi 4.1 on above using the embedded raid controller.

  According to this post (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1393463#1393463) I set the Commission to use "Intel matrix Raid" as the type of controller.  Who is the one who supports Raid 5 so that I would use anyway.

  The problem is when I choose the disc to install VMware shows two physical drives rather than for the raid set.  Installation at one of these BRAKES the raid (not surprising), who then proceeds to try to rebuild his car, but never quite get there.

  Gparted and Win 2008 as bios only list the raid set.

  The Board is listed in the list of compatibility with the following notes:

  1. State power supply not supplied.

  2. total count and status not provided all of the thermal system and temperature sensors.

  3. when the State of system fan not intended to indicate that a fan has been removed.

  4 Intel 82578 DM Gigabit Network Connection not supported.

  Anyone has any advice on what I could try?

  As a general rule, the RAID controllers on board are NOT material (with BBWC) RAID controllers... Therefore, you will not see a picture that you build on them as a single volume, but as their readers (lone) component... ESX/ESXi requires RAID controllers for drives configured in a table in order to present in a table...

  What HCL did the jury on (do not see on the VMware HCL)?

  In addition, given that the NETWORK card is not supported, you need to install a NETWORK card that is supported before you will be able to fully install ESX/ESXi on the system...

  If you really need to have readers in a table (never a bad idea to use RAID 1 or 10), then you will need get a RAID controller that is on the VMware HCL as supported (for installing ESX/ESXi on) and then move on... I'd go with a controller using the LSI MegaRAID chipset (or this LSI controller directly). As you connect SATA drives to the system, you will want to get the RAID controller that is listed as SATA/SAS-RAID, so that it will work properly/entirely with the SATA (and SAS) readers... Newegg has the LSI MegaRAID cards manage up to four drives internally (and are on the VMware HCL) for not much money (~ $300 each)...

  As many people on these boards will tell you, material compatibility is CRITICAL for ESX/ESXi... VMware publishes and updates constantly, their HCL for a reason... If it's on, then it is supported in the configuration also listed... If something is not listed for a certain version/version, then you can pretty much bet that it is not supported and will not work. If you want a stable host and environment, you will have to pay special attention to the HCL in deciding the selection of material...

• Add drivers to install ESXi?

  During the installation of ESX, you get the question if you want to add additional drivers, but who are not possible while installing ESXi?

  Otherwise, if a critical part as the disk controller is not included in the basic configuration, so I can't install ESXi on this hardware at all?

  Custom drivers can be added to the file oem.tgz on the installation media.

• Install ESXi 4.0 on Fujitsu GROUND TX200 S4 with RAID 1

  Hello

  is it possible to install ESXi 4.0 U1 on a Fujitsu GROUND TX200 S4 server with RAID 1 of this machine system?

  The ESXi can manage the RAID?

  On the compatibility page of vmware search the Fujitsu GROUND TX200 S4 is in the list, but - what it means, ESXi has the RAID drivers too?

  I'm new to ESXi and want to be sure before you install it to my client.

  Thank you, soon, has

• Install Vista Home Premium Toshiba Recovery disk

  Hello

  I question: is it possible to install Vista recovery disk without erase all data on the HARD drive and destroy the current configuration partition?

  Question II: Is it possible to to somehow 'get' the installation of Vista from Toshiba recovery disc files,
  integrate em with SP1 and train a separate Vista installation disc?

  Question III: How much space do you think I should spare for the primary partition for Vista OS only (file and all the other software will be on other partitions)?

  (1) No, it is not possible to install Vista from the Toshiba Recovery disk without format the whole HARD drive.
  You can only use the HARD drive recovery feature if you don t want to erase the whole HARD drive. Then only the first partition is erased.

  (2) No, this is not possible. The recovery disk contains factory settings in an image and you can change something. You must install SP1 after installing Windows.

  (3) you must use the 15 or 20 GB for the system partition, but if you reinstall Vista, you reinstall all of the programs. So you can install all the programs on the first partition.
  Here is a useful article on the Vista partition Manager:

• P2V can install ESXi on old svr

  My boss wants to virtualize our Windows Server 2008, and then use that computer as our ESXi host.  Is it possible to convert the server in a virtual machine, store files, then install ESXi on the old server and import the hard and other files in the data store?

  The best way to do it would be P2V to either using VMware Workstation/VMware Player, VMware Converter - install ESXi and then V2V to new ESXi host

• Network drivers to install Esxi on a simple Tower Icase

  Hello

  I want to install Esxi 5.0 on a personal computer with this configuration:

  -form factor: tower case

  -motherboard: Gigabyte H77 DS3H

  -CPU: Intel Core i5

  When I try to install the ESXI, it tells me that no netword card is present.

  The built-in network card is an Atheros.
  Is it possible to use it for my Esxi on this computer?
  I have seen that it is possible to inject drivers and create a customized for Esxi boot cd.
  Can someone tell me how exactly?

  Thanks for your help,

  Jeremy

  I doubt you will find a driver for this NIC. In my opinion, it's much easier to get an inexpensive NIC that is supported or at least known as work (such as an Intel PRo/1000 GT).

• Install ESXi 4.1u1 USB to USB

  I have a N36L HP Proliant Microserver, on which I want to install ESXi 4.1u1. The material has no optical drive, but it has an internal USB that can host a flash drive. I want to install on a 1 GB stick plugged into it. It is two a question on how to do this, but also what I've discovered so far.

  (1) my first attempt was to create a portable USB HD bootable with ISO. It is documented in various places, the easiest of which is to use UNetbootin. Although apparently, it worked in previous versions of ESXi, apparently this does not work in 4.0 + since the installer insists on finding an image on an optical disc instead of the bootable media.

  (2) the workaround for this is to use a kickstart file to call 'usb install', which has the secondary effect of automation of the installation too. However calling "autopart' with the name of the flash drive fails also in my case because scripted installs need to 5 GB of space on the target disk. My stick is 1 GB.

  My remaining options are:

  (1) use another VM (possibly?) with an optical drive to install on a USB thumb key and then plug it into the server. Would this work? Is there only one image for all types of hardware, or installing regular CDROM EXSi when thing custom installed on a specific material does something?

  (2) use a "image writer" (winimage/dd) to write the installation image to ISO directly on the USB. To do this, I have the same questions as above. The images fit everything?

  3) temporarily renounce this strategy and use a cdrom or install it on a hard drive instead.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Option 1) would do. A base image would work different across of the box. You will find another server or using vmware workstation to create your bootable USB on esxi.  You can follow the tutorial here simply replace these virtual CD ISO of vmware workstation. http://www.techhead.co.UK/installing-VMWare-ESXi-4-0-on-a-USB-memory-stick-the-official-way

• I have problems to install ESXi 3.5 in a Gigabyte G31M-ES2C Board

  I have problems to install ESXi 3.5 in a Gigabyte motherboard, fails the installation process, the console says fatal error, the entire message is:

  Model G31M-ES2C

  Serial number abandoned

  BIOS Rev: CF

  Help me, please

  ESXi is very demanding and specific with regard to the material. There is a very short list and I do not think that your software is on the supported list. You may be able to get hardware not supported for installation, but you must work there. I would look on the site http://vm-help.com for possible solutions for your hardware not supported.
