安裝ESX 3i 會出現的可能問題解決方法

Esx 3i版 是將VMware Esx Host os 裝在Usb 快閃裝置上,載後為一個ISO files,燒成CD後安裝在U盤上.不少人遇到問題,是抓不到Usb 閃存裝置,無法將Esx 3i寫入到U盤

可用下面方法解決,也免燒錄下載的cd.以下用Windows 舉例
首先用Daemon tools 或類似軟體掛載 esx 3.5i  iso 檔
用winrar 解開 install.tgz \usr\lib\vmware\installerVMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-103909.i386.dd.bz2
這個bz2 再解開成為installerVMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-103909.i386.dd.bz2

這時在用win image 把這DD files 寫入到usb memory disk 
這樣就沒問題了 usb memory stick要 1gb以上 最好2gb .

(此為舊版,新版檔名也許會有所變更)
