Hi every body,
To test vmware esxi I would install esxi 5 on my laptop. When i must choose the HD where i install the OS my HD is not find. I tried with ntfs and ext4 as file system but it's same ?
How to proceed for that my hd it to be recognized ?
Thanks, and sorry to my english ...
would you like to install ESXi on top of your Windows OS running in your Laptop ?
No i use an old HD empty
Did you check whether the processor of your Laptop support Virtualization or not ?
Normally it's ok I already use vmware workstation and hyper-v on this laptop. The hardware checking is ok. But then choice of disk install, i see my live usb key but not my harddrive. Same with fdisk -l
what is your hard disk make .model and h/w configuration ?
I tested 3 hard disks.
The last is a Hitachi SATA 3gb/s.
Bare metal installation on a laptop is really tough , ESXI need 4 GB to operate and 8 GB memory to fully functional.
apparently here the issue is the sata controller on your laptop is not compatible with esxi build . do you still need to install ESXI on your laptop ?
If yes , try with injecting the driver to ESXI .https://tinkertry.com/use-esxi-customizer-gui-to-inject-multiple-driver-vibs-into-your-esxi-installe...
Hello,
I wanted test. I think I'm just going from one VM on workstation.
