Problem with driver installation Home Server

Yet another question!

I had a bad day with ESXi today, nothing worked and I am still to get a guest OS installed and work after hours of banging my head against the server.

I am trying to install Windows Home Server, I have a bootable DVD for it, but it fails with the error:

"hard disk capable of hosting windows home server is not found."

After Googling, I find that I need to download a SCSi driver and put it on a floppy disk.

First of all, my floppy drive on my client did not work so I went along to a neighbor, he had no one, so I then drove to my nearest neighbor who said he had a working floppy drive.

File: ESXi_WinXP.flp is too large to fit on the disk! It didn't matter what we tried it wouldn't fit. Then we researched on the VMWare site for another driver, but it was too big for a floppy as well.

Where I am goingwrong and why is it so difficult (for me)

Thank you, again.

you have really no need put one flpppy image btrue diskette - you can point the flp on shared storage image - as you do an ISO for cd rom image.

  • Satellite L875-13D - problem with the installation of the wireless card

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L875-13D. I installed Windows 7 Enterprise edition.

    I have a problem with the installation of the wireless card. I have downloaded the driver on Toshiba website, but it does not work. When I run the file .zip and .exe, nothing happens. In addition, there are several pilots: Athos, Intel and Realtek and I do not know what is mine... I test all the driver but same result.

    I have the same problem with Bluetooth driver that does not work too.

    Thank you for your help.

    > But it does not work yet for Bluetooth,... I have install the driver by the .exe from the Toshiba Web site but when I run the application, I have error that says missing tosbtapi.dll. I founded and downloaded and installed on budget3 and SysWOW. But after that, the installation is blocked. Any ideas?

  • Problem with Windows Installer (I think)

    Hey I just got a new 'game' PC with all the good things like i7 processor nvidia GTS 250 graphics card. So I guessed I would setup games. Games were installed very well the problems started when I tried to run SteamInstall.msi he looks ready to install for 1 second and then close and nothing happen. Even try to do once again nothing. So I gave up with it.

    Then I installed cod4, codwaw and download for both patches. When I try to install the patches it starts normal and after extractinng saying "" ".msi or msu or something it get stuck on the preparation for installation on both cod4, codwaw games and I think about others too... '".

    So I guess that's my Windows Installer problem... ? Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (problems on SP1 also)

    Yoris,
    I think that if you had a problem with Windows Installer, then you would have also had a problem installing the games themselves.  If after installing just the game, you are able to start the game, then you will need to determine if you really need the patches you install.  If they fix game issues and do not add any content, then you may not even need of patches.  If it turns out that you do not have the patches and they are self extracting\installing files and then save them to your desktop and then right click and select run as administrator and see if that helps.  You can also check with Activision support , because this can be a problem they know.

    I hope someone has a suggestion for this problem... I just bought a new laptop and Windows 7 Professional came installed on it.

    Thank you

    Linney thanks for your response!

    The file I'm trying to install is an exe file (so the SIG file is embedded in the exe file).

    I tried the option "Run As Administrator" and it did not work.  However, you gave me an idea that has provided a work around that allowed me to install the program.

    Once this dialog box is displayed with all the control switches, rather than press 'OK', I left on the screen and went in the 'temp' folder and find the MSI program I tried to install (I cross referenced the timestamp of when I tried to install it to find).

    Once I found the updated file, I clicked it, and he proceeded to install the program... I have not had any other problems with the installation.

    So, there's something wrong with the way that the exe file have been created and how the files extracted from the msi file (these are files of Intel and Lenovo - driver updates - so I think they do these things) or there is a problem with Windows Installer.

    For now, at least, I have a work around I use until I find a solution to this problem of permanent

    I recently received a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition of my college and have had problems with the installation process. I listened to what most people tend to do and got the Windows Anytime Upgrade. I entered my key in this program, and he asked me to make what is called the Windows Upgrade Advisor. Currently, I forgot my key for the upgrade because I received the ultimate edition of a download of my college so when I tried to return the process again I hit a roadblock. When I run the Upgrade Windows Advisor he tells me that my computer can run windows 7, but when I go to install the I get an error when I try to do the Upgrade Version (I have not tried the customized version because I don't want to lose all my files that are not saved) tells me that I have to use Windows Anytime Upgrade.
