I must be doing more wrong than I should.Īnyway, if you can give helpful hints, I thank in advance But the computer does not boot and returns to BIOS. burned it on a CD, tried to boot from this disk on a virgin PC. Here I downloaded the iso file of about 297 MB. One other - separate - test I did with the vsphere hypervisor - installer 5.0.0-469512.iso, which should allow bare metal installation.

No visible signs of action for almost three hours (!) Then I stopped the whole process because obviously nothing happened. Then the process started (with no visivle signs) other than the yellow area below the black window saying "easy install is installing Windows 7 " Question: although this VM player asks for an ISO file, you recommended the vmdk: is this OK? because vdmk is not ISO. Then, in the selection window, I choose the second (of three) points: "installer disk image file (iso)"Īnd browsed to the vmdk (after saying "all files") - selected this and waited. In VM-Window I choose "creating a new virt machine". Then started win7 with the vmware player on this machine. The disk with the vmdk file I hooked to the VMware Computer by external USB. also the SCSI entries did not appear or were not asked from me.

In my process there was nothing to upload, nor is there an ESX. Which - I confess - i did not entirely understand, because: Thanks again, Ulli Hankeln, I promised to report: down below also in GErman:Ĭonverted vhd with v2v converter to the vmdk-format on a hard disk, which took about 70 minutes for almost 60 GB.
