Hi,
I have installed ESXI 5.1 on Workstation 9 on a user account but the both as run as administator.
When I tired to run Server 2008 R2.iso or Exchange.iso, I got the following error message:
Network boot from Intel E1000
Client MAC ADDR: 00 0C....
PXE-E53:No boot filename received
PXE-MOF:Exiting Intel PXE ROM
Operating system not found
I have reinstalled Esxi and Workstation 9 and they run as an administrator but the issue is the same.
There is a print screen with the settings for the Virtual machine created under ESXI.
thank you for your help
Hi,
you need to click the "connected" and "connect at power on" in the right top corner in order to make the iso to mount properly.
After you click "connect at power on", reboot the VM and it should boot from the iso.

Thank you so much, it's working fine now.
Hi i have the same problem but i cant find the button for connected and connect at power on
*edit* i have workstation 8
You should see something like this when opening virtual machine settings:
(select CD\DVD drive and in the top right corner you have the options you are looking for)
I have tick the checkbox "Connect at power on" but the checkbox "Connected" is disabled.
But window cannot start and the machine is going to boot fron network.
Please suggest some help...
Tick box "Connected" is grayed out if the VM is powered off.
So this is normal.
Please check vGeek: VM settings: CD/DVD drive
Try the workaround described in "How to configure "Client Device"
So connect the ISO from the Console Window's icon bar.
And set the boot delay to for example 10 seconds seeing what exactly the VM is doing with the attached ISO.
Go into the BIOS inside the VM and check the boot order there (like on a physical machine).
Make sure the CD/DVD is on top.
Thanks you for your reply.
But there is no option for BIOS setting in VMware. I have Vmware version 11. Please suggest some help.
hi. i am beginner and facing same problem "operating system not found"
but, button "connected" and "connect at power on" in the right top corner are disable..
any solution plz
regards
Use the CD/DVD menu.
Select the image using the file chooser.
Then mount the CD/DVD drive.
Then restart.
I spent too long figuring this out; i.e. the interface is non-intuitive and/or the error message is not specific/clear enough.
Just creating the VM doesn't install the operating system. You need to mount a CD/DVD/ISO with the windows XP installable on it and run the normal install routine.
Thanks alot that Helped for me!
Thanks,It's work.
The boxes are checked but i have the same problem
Welcome to the Community,
Instead of replying to a 7 years old thread, please consider to open a new discussion for any issues that you experience.Anyway, can you confirm that the ISO image that you are trying to boot from is bootable, and healthy?
If you can confirm this, open a new discussion, and provide the following:

Hi there! Both of the "connected" and "connect at power on" options are enabled in my VM. However, the "no operating system found" error message is still showing. What can be done?
Please see my relply above. If this doesn't help, consider to open a new discussion, and provide additional details, like the VM's vmware.log file, and information about the ISO image that you want to boot from.
André
You maybe need to check your ISO file. It's bootable ISO or not.
my iso is bootable, but still it says Operating system not found, tried both 6.5 and 6.7
Im not using vmware workstation, intead trying to install on standalone machine
