  I am trying to install Windows Server 2008. When I get to the part where I should choose where the operating system is to be installed, it is blank. He told me 'No device found drivers. We see the SATA HDD in BIOS, and if I browse for the drivers, the driver is displayed. I used the command line packaged with the installer to format the drive, just to be sure. It is formatted in NTFS.

• ESXi 3.5 and when trying to install windows server 2008

  I installed ESXi 3.5 on my server and successfully created a first virtual computer on which I am trying to install Windows server 2008 standard. I use VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5 from a Vista machine to access my virtual machine console.

  Installation of Windows server is an ISO file located in the root directory of the ESX Server data store. Everything went well with the installation until one last server restart showed a screen stating "the password must be changed before logging on the first time' by clicking on 'OK' present a login for 'Administrator' screen, asking me to enter a password for the 'new' and 'Confirm password '.

  Any attempt to enter a new password results (up to 14 characters, mixture letter & number) in a message "unable to update the password, the value provided for the new password does not meet the requirements of length, complexity or the history of the area.

  As far as I know, I'm not usig a specific domain, have never been able to access Windows server 2008 to create an admin account. I don't know how to solve this problem. I am new to VMWare and Windows server 2008.

  Any suggestion to move forward and allow me to have access to the server via the console?

  Thanks in advance for your help, Claude

  This isn't really a problem with VMware, but more of a problem of Windows 2008 password complexity requirements.

  The account that she is not asking that you must change the password is the local administrator account.

  And you have tried in upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters?  Something like Win2008!@#$ maybe?

• Hard drives not found when you try to install Windows Server 2008

  Hey guys and girls,

  I've spent the last 20 hours, trying to solve the problem of not being able to install windows server 2008 r2 on a new Dell server.

  My configuration is:

  Dell PowerEdge R310

  4 x 1 TB 7.2 K SATA HDD

  Controller Raid PERC H700

  I can't even install the drivers that I downloaded from the Dell support site because Windows Server 2008 Setup will not recognize them.  These factors include the Raid Controller, chipsets Intel, SATA etc.

  I used the settings default, all changed the Auto Off Ports and vica versa, I put the server in Raid and ATA mode with all the possibilities, but it will be will not detect any HD!

  Please help, as it is essential for my health, employment and mental health.

  Best regards

  Sami L.

  What OS?  What RAID controller?  How many discs?  The size?  RAID level?

  I can't assume that everything is the same, especially when you have a different system altogether which does not support the H700 (so the files would have been meaningless even if Dell had not broken links). :)

  I would like to know how to install Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 Enterprise from a USB key, please.

  I'm not trying to run either on the USB key, I just need to know how to install from a USB key. I tried Multiboot, grub for DOS and other, but they do not seem to work :/

  I am going through a book that uses these two to form Microsoft MCITP: Server 2008 Administrator and if I could install these Via USB, this would save my records and a lot of hassle... basically just for convenience, as everything that I need will be on a stick * lol *.

  Otherwise, I'll have to use discs instead :)

• Impossible to install windows server 2008 on virtual machine

  Hello

  I installed vmware 9 without any problems, but when I create a virtual machine and I want to install windows server 2008 on it, I see this error:

  This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
  This host supports Intel VT - x, but Intel VT - x is disabled.
  Intel VT - x can be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or host was not powered by bicycle since changing this setting.
  (1) check that the settings BIOS/firmware activate Intel VT - x and disable "trust execution."
  2 turn on the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.
  (3) turn on the host if you have not done since the installation of VMware Workstation.
  (4) update of the BIOS/firmware from the host to the latest version.

• Impossible to install windows server 2008 r2 standard x 64 for PowerEdge T110 ii

  need help on how can I install the Server 2008 r2 to newly purchased edge T110 ii.

  I tried several times using the operating system deployment wizard, downloaded the drivers via FTP. and to continue the process step by step.

  After the restart, Server 2008 R2 DVD will start running. .  After clicking on 'install' button, the system is always ask / look for drivers.

  I downloaded all the drivers from dell Web site, he engraved on DVD, but I was always invited with traverse it for drivers.  Any idea?

  Server is currently set to Raid 1 with 2 SATA 500 GB each. Using the PERC S100 controller.

  Is the message that he needs a CD/DVD driver?

  If so, there is a small chance, there are actually the driver SATA, but 99% of the time, this message indicates that the corrupted Windows media.

  A few things to try:

  • Re-download the ISO
  • Check the hack to ensure integrity to download and/or use a download manager
  • Burn the ISO again
  • Burn the ISO using different software, reader and/or a different speed

  You can also install via USB - if you still get the message from driver CD/DVD, then these are the media corrupt; If it was due to a real CD/DVD driver problem, then it should not be a problem:

• How to: install Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) in ESXi 4.1 - 260247 with controller 'LSI Logic SAS'?

  Hello

  I have a newly installed ESXi 4.1 - 260247 on a Fujitsu - Siemens GROUND RX300 S4 with 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 @ 2.5 GHz with 36 GB of RAM.

  Storage controller is a LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 6 x 750 GB SATA - drives configured with 3xRAID-1 logical drives. BIOS Version 4.06 Rev 1.04.2519

  Now, I'm trying to install "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit" in a virtual machine, but fail because the virtual hard disk cannot be found.

  I tried with all Types of SCSI controller, but when running of the "Create Virtual Machine"-magician, he suggests 'LSI Logic SAS'. "." I tried 'LSI Logic parallel' and "VMware Paravirtual" but it did not work. However, I have not tried "Parallel BusLogic", since it clearly says no "recommended for this guest operating system".

  I was unable to find documentation on how and where I can find the "LSI Logic SAS" - pilot to be able to continue the installation. The

  Windows Server 2008 R2 installation is an ISO obtained directly from Microsoft eLicensing.

  I also downloaded the drivers floppy 'pvscsi - Windows2008.flp' and 'vmscsi.flp' from the ESXi server, but the program finds no driver validates the installation of Windows on them.

  I also extracted files "windows.iso' of the ESXi machine, but not drivers there as well.

  So my question is, what model is the "LSI Logic SAS", I guess I can download these LSI directly, I need to know what model?

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Kind regards

  chrkad,

  I think you have the same problem I had.   Trying to install 2008 R2 and asked for drivers?

  The issue wound up being an ISO corrupt Ms.

  Try to download the ISO using the java-based download manager.  This will tell you if your download is getting disturbed, as mine was.  It will also be the image once completed to ensure you've got the whole thing of checksum.  Just download via HTTP does not.

  I found myself in download the image of the House and burn a DVD and realize that the back of the office,
