Windows do not install ISO in the NFS datastore

Hi all

I searched this forum for a few days and tried to suggestions from different positions without success. I recently installed ESXi 5.1 update 1. I have setup a NFS datastore on the same computer by using a USB external hard drive. I was able to install RHEL6 using an iso from the NFS data store. The problem is that I can't install Windows by using an iso of Windows 7. Whenever the virtual computer is booted, it aims to achieve crashes and boot TFTP. No iso standard is detected. I tried the following:

1. guaranteed 'Connected' and 'Connect at Power On' options for CD/DVD are verified. However, I have noticed that when the virtual machine starts, the 'Connected' for Windows option becomes not controlled. This is not the case for the Linux VM.

2. change the boot order in BIOS to the first boot from CD/DVD.

3. uncontrolled ' connect at power on "for network adapters.

Even after these changes, VM trying to do a start-up network and TFTP.

The next thing I did:

4 network cards removed from the BIOS (by changing configuration).

For the moment, VM does not network boot attempt, but complains that the operating system was not detected.

Few details on the NFS datastore:

1. 1 TB external USB with 2 Configuration of partitions ext4 as an NFS share to the RHEL6 server on the same machine.

2. NFS configured correctly because I can install from an iso RHEL6 very well.

Am I missing something? Nothing wrong with iso of Windows. I used it elsewhere. Also tried a different iso Windows without success. Help, please. Thanks in advance for your time.

Kind regards.

As the ISO for the operating system files are big and sometimes take a considerable amount of clusters on the hard drive make a control office (or a scan of the drive) can fix corrupt ISO file. and to make sure that your ISO is not corrupted try to open it with Winrar and extract a file from it.

Yours,
