• After crash HD using Win 7 Upgrade to install clean

  I upgraded my computer the SP3 of XP to Windows 7 64 bit with Win7 upgrade. The hard drive crashed and I bought a new hard drive. Win 7 installed fine, but it wont let me turn on. He told me that I can only upgrade. I need to uninstall Win7, reformat the disk, reinstall XP and then install Win 7 to activate and be authentic? Is there another way to solve this problem?

  Before you install Windows 7 using the upgrade disc, you must install Windows Vista. Windows 7 does not support the Windows XP upgrade (clean install necessary). Consider buying the full version of Windows 7.

• Cannot change upgrade to install mode

  I need to reinstall Esxi on a system. Then I booted from the CD, the installation program sees that there is already an esxi installation.

  I got the tree options:

  -upgrade to ESXI, preserve the VMFS datastore

  -install ESXI, preserve the VMFS datastore

  -install ESXI, crush VMFS datastore

  Standard is upgraded, I want to install esxi preserve VMFS I can select with the arrow dat but can not get the X marking the selection for her.

  Running on a macMini 6.1 with Apple keyboard.

  I'm doing research on the Esxi and therefore my current installation is not booting more erred in config. I want to reinstall ESXi and preserve my VM in the data store.

  normally you can select with the space key.

  Try it with normal usb keyboard. This could probably help

• install ESXi 5.5 on HPBL460

  Hello.

  I plan to upgrade or re - install ESXi on my HP BL460 G6 hosts. Do I need an image of HP, or can I use the image ISO VMware 5.50? The hosts are running ESX4.0.

  You will get better results with HP image which can be downloaded here.

• Unable to update/install esxi HP 5.1 build 799733

  Currently installed: Esxi HP 5.0 build. on ML 350 p Gen 8 2xIntel 2 GHz CPU E5-2650 136 Gib memory

  Updated latest firmware HP: HP_Service_Pack_for_Proliant_2012.10.0 - 0_713293 - 001_spp_2012.10.0 - SPP2012100.2012_1005.37.iso

  Unfortaunately, because no network card cannot be detected, the ESXi will not start.

  See screenshot and film.

  You must use the custom HP ESXi ISO 5.1 or offline Bundle to do the upgrade, because vanilla VMware ISO does not include the necessary NETWORK card drivers. Download here:

• Install ESXi 5.0 existing 4.0

  I am running a Dell PowerEdge T610 with VMware ESXi 4.0 installed on the SD card in the server.  The guest vm is installed on the physical hard disks of this server.   I want to install the latest vmware ESXi 5.0 on this server.

  What I would do instead of actually the upgrade of the current ESXi 4.0 on the SD card, must actually cut down all the vm and the server.  Then I would insert a new SD card in the server and install ESXi 5.0 (or newer) on this subject.  Dell told me this would be the best way to go about it since we do not need to be until the end of the week and I have downtime.

  When I finish the installation on the new SD card, the new 5.0 ESXi installation will be able to run the current vm running on ESXi 4.0?  Once I have installed the new ESXi 5.0 on the new SD card installation there will see banks of data on its hard drives.  How will this work?  Sorry I n;' t have experience with this and I just want to get on the right track.

  Your plan is good.
  The new facility will see your old datatstores - you just need to register virtual machines and set up networking

• Cannot install ESXi 4.1 but can install ESXi 3.5

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2600

  I tried to install ESXi 4.1, but it simply doesn't. Happens to step to show the points and keep the machine on reboot and it goes into a loop.

  I managed to install ESXi 3.5 that I thought that the machine does support 32 bit.

  There are some features I need on the 4.1 which are not included in the version 3.5 for example boot from .iso and also the 3.5 I think is no stable (dose of console does not display anything).

  As I am already running 3.5 I tried to do an upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1 in vain.

  Would be really appreciated any help.

  Thank you

  Hi, me too I have a Dell Poweredge 2600, I bought used about 4 years ago. The Intel Xeons that are only 32 bit so that they do not support vSphere.

  Hi all

  I downloaded the VMware ESXi 4.0 (upgrade ZIP) of: https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/p/activate.php?p=free-esxi & lp = 1 without using any premium tools apartfrom FastSCP + PuTTY for SSH access, now I wonder what I would do in my SSH console? because I tried to copy in the Datastore1, then chmod-r 777 update dir. still stuck.

  I also tried to update using C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIUpdate\VMwareUpdateServiceClient.exe and it is not really to upgrade to version 4.

  any idea please?

  Kind regards

• Windows Anytime upgrade to install Win 7 Pro on NB550D

  Is it safe to use Windows anytime upgrade to install Windows 7 Professional on a NB550D?

  I ask because it is available through the start menu, but the representative of Toshiba at Insight UK said it might void the warranty if you did! But then they mantioned Atom processors so I think they are just a little stupid maybe...?

  The reason for the upgrade is that we want netbooks on the field.

  Thank you

  Isn't about 20% cheaper to buy OEM W7 Pro that do an upgrade? May be entering the new product key on the screen at any time to upgrade will automate the upgrade rather than installing USB etc.

• I bought Vista Ultimate professional to upgrade the installed Vista. The 'Upgrade' feature is disabled in my professional (full) Vista Ultimate package. Why?

  Why can't go from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate?

  I have a laptop double boot configured with Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional.

  I bought Vista Ultimate professional to upgrade the installed Vista. The 'Upgrade' feature is disabled in my professional (full) Vista Ultimate package. Why?

  Update requires the same Service Pack level.  For example, if your current Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 or SP2 installed, you will need to uninstall the Service Pack to be able to use the Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, you have that has no Service Pack integrated.

• UCS C220 M3 custom problem after installing ESXi 5.1.0 Cisco

  Hello world

  I m using a Cisco UCS C220 M3 when I tried to install ESXi 5.1.0 custom Cisco after complete the entire process and restart the server. The ESXi has not started it appeared as if there is no operating system.

  In addition, before installing ESXi I configured a HDD in RAID 0, initialized the RAMDisk and chosen as a pilot.

  Hoping someone could help me.

  Llianovich,

  Unfortunately, the on-board controller is not supported with ESXi.  I saw other people using this controller for VMware and makes the work but the behavior is very random and it could work or fail at any time. It is recommended to use one of the controllers of basic PCI or Mezzanine by the ESXi (see c220 m3 datasheet below)

• Initialization failed: press a button to try again... when installing ESXi ISO

  After a repair of an already open a question problem, a new question was raised.  I open another question because this problem is new, and I thought that a new question must be requested in this regard.

  Following the instructions of this question, I have re-recognized my blade twice.  Looking at the KVM, I have not seen a no boot device message, which was to be expected.  I went to re - install ESXi 5.5 (which was already installed on the SD card before the open-ended question) and I am now met with the following message is displayed:

  isolinux: disk error 20, AX = 422D, reader EF

  I rebooted several times the blade to re - try unsuccessfully to installation.  I even went back to an ISO of 5.1 ESXi, who gave the best results.

  The ISOs I use are UCS VMware ISOs downloaded directly from VMware.

  Please check the question as answered future users faced with the same question

• Could not install ESXi on UCS B200M2

  I have traced the image ISO of ESXi in KVM virtual media and installation of VM always failed with the message
  "Could not load the module/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/vmfs3: failure.

  I use the downloaded image from VMware with file name "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0.update1 - 348481.x86_64.iso.

  Anyone know anything about this? Thank you

  Sorry took me awhile to find the email.

  So here's the deal with ISO specific to Cisco for ESXi.

  You use the specific Cisco of ESXi image if you install ESXi on the following

  1 UCS B230 local disk. Image 4.1 standard not a wrong driver LSI. If you perform a boot SAN with Palo you are fine.

  2. If you use any CNAs GEN2 (Emulex and Qlogic). It's true, regardless which you install ESXi on the blade.

  According to internal e-mail, I'm looking at these drivers did not have the 4.1U1 image, but should be in the 4.1U2 and 4.0U3.

  Result based on the answers above all what has worked and what has not with what equipment I would say that the news of the email are correct.
