I alternately have a Successful Burn but nothing is written to the disk or "Not enough space on the disk" or "The drive is not ready - possibly the drive is open. The problem with software and processes that assume everyone is stupid is that there is no fall back. You just have to remain stupid.
DSTAVERT ,
I am assuming you posted this as you are having trouble burning the ESXi software to a cd or dvd - is that correct? What browser and OS are you using? Are you getting any kind of error?
Please post the details of what you are trying to accomplish and what is going wrong - I'd be happy to help!
Thanks!
DSTAVERT ,
That is very strange behavior. Have you tried different blank media? Is it possible for you to try another machine?
The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps your download of the ESXi ISO was corrupted - perhaps trying downloading it again?
Let me know how the above goes-
Thanks!
I wouldn't have posted here unless I had tried a few things first. Different media, different CDROM drive, restarting, different browser, etc. Since this is beta wouldn't understanding why it failed and figuring out how to fix the problem be a better solution than installing it on another machine??
There has been a recent code change that allows the error you are experiencing to be printed to the window instead of masked with a "Successfully Created" message. Trying the procedure again will not result in a good disk but should provide us with a better error message in which to solve your issue.
Thank you for your patience regarding this matter.

You cannot use DVD media when burning the ESXi installation ISO - it's prepared as a CD ISO so you must use blank CD media.
Thanks!
I'm having many of the same problems stated here trying to use VMware Go to Burn an Install CD. On XP I'm getting "Insufficient Disk Space". On Windows 7 I just get "Error" with NO explanation or error number. I've tried difference browsers and computers with no success. This should be simple. We want to move to ESXi, but with the number of complaints, problems, and error postings in this community one can conclude that VMware Go and ESXi environments are very, very buggy.
I appreciate the responses, but no one really has posted a solution to this problem or even an acceptable explanation. In regards to this issue VMware is letting us hang.
So, how is the old fashion Download working for you guys? I've burned a the ISO image to a CD without incident, but have not been able to get my system to boot from that CD. Which is why I thought creating an Install CD via Go would work better. And yes, I changed my BIOS to boot from the CD.
