ISO 3.5 create a boot CD

Hello

I try to create a boot CD from ISO File. My way to do this is, extract the ISO file on WindowsXP with the tool "undisker", tranfer the file with winscp to an existing ESX Server.

I do the task as describe on WEB site http://vmprofessional.com/index.php?content=kickstart_2 , after that I transfer the ISO back to windws xp and burn a CD with Nero.

The installation is starting, after 66% I get the message "could not open or damage Pack "aacraid_esx3"".

Is there a command on ESX Host, that I can extract the ISO File on the ESX Host?

I also glad about other hints.

Regards

Hey,

You can try this...

I personally just used 'Ultra ISO' on my workstation and copied the necessary file(s) to esx.



Good Luck
