I have recently installed VMware ESXi 5.0.0 (release build 469512) on Intel DQ67SW motherboard. After the reboot, ESXi is not booting up automatically even the first boot device is HDD. I am getting following error message
A BOOTABLE DEVICE HAS NOT BEEN DETECTED.
PLEASE REFER TO THE PRODUCT GUIDE AT HTTP://SUPPORT.INTEL.COM/SUPPORT/MOTHERBOARDS/DESKTOP
Then I have to give CTRL+ALT+DEL and F10 for booting from HDD.
.
Processor: INTEL I5 2500
MB: DQ67SW
SATA HDD: ST3320418AS
Please let me know if any have idea ?
Thanks

If you have more than one HDD try temporarily disconnecting it/them or changing the boot order for the hard drives.. It can be that the install is on one of the other HDD and not the first HDD.
I would try installing ESXi to a USB flash drive rather than the HDD.
Me too on this one, on a DQ67OW mobo.
I have updated to the latest BIOS, this doesn't help.
Disabling boot from all devices other than the hard drive in BIOS also doesn't have any effect.
Looks like an Intel mobo bug to me?

Hi guyz, I got solution for this.. Enable RAID instead of SATA in BIOS. this will allow the disk to boot automatically.
F2 -> CONFIGURATION tab -> SATA Drives -> Chipset SATA MODE = RAID --> F10 (save) --> ESC (exit)
Enable UEFI mode and it will work (had the same problem)
Processer: I5-2500
Motherboard: Intel DQ67SW
I am not able to install ESXI 5 on the intel DQ67SW motherboard
It is telling me to check on VMware HCL
Have any one successfully installed with the same configuration. If so pls advise.
Or
Pls provide detailed additional H/W requirement for this motherboard to install ESXi5
Thanks

Thanks. Solved my problem!!!!
I have a Intel DQ57TM desktop Board
Changing to UEFI did not help, but using the RAID setting (instead of AHCI or IDE mode) worked fine
SDame error here. Tried different USB Devices and ports. Finally got iT working by selecting eufi option in boot menu of bios.
I have had exactly the same problem on several machines. Two of them were on Intel DH77EB, one on Intel DZ68EB.
In case of DH77EBs for me worked load BOIS defaults and not to change boot settings and options.
In case of DZ68EB this way didn't worked but switching to RAID instead of AHCI helped.
