5.1 or 5.5 want boot after successful install.

[datawhisperer]

Trying to install 5.1 or 5.5 on a Lenovo M78. I put a compatible network card and it install with no error. Then I reboot the computer and get Error 1962 No operating system found. I found this on Lenovo site ( POST 1962 Error after installing VMWare ESXi - ThinkCentre, ThinkStation ) and did what it said with no change. Has anyone ran into this and got fix for it.

This could be either an issue with the BIOs, not being able to boot from GPT or a BIOS setting as the one mentioned in the link you posted. If you cannot solve this with a BIOS update/setting, you may try to install ESXi with forcing an MBR rather than GPT partition table. To do this press Shift-O in the start screen when prompted and append formatwithmbr to the command line.
