Hi,
First time post!
I am having trouble installing server 2008 r2 from an ISO that I downloaded from Technet.
I have done checksum and the iso is okay.
I have created a virtual machine using server 2008 r2 type.
I start the machine and then connect the iso using "connect to ISO image on local disk..." option in the cd drive icon.
It tries for a little and errors with:
PXE-E53: No boot filename received
PXE-M0f: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
Operating system not found.
Also looked at the VM > properties > Hardware > CD/DVD drive 1 and checked Device type selected was Client Device
I checked the virtual machine in options > Boot options and made sure there was a delay for the boot iso to be recognised and then
I thought it might be trying pixie boot so I opened the BIOS on the virtual machine and moved Network boot to the bottom
I have faith in the ISO because I accidentally tried installing onto an Ubuntu VM I had created and it got to the windows loading screen for the DVD.
Any thoughts why I can't install using a Windows 2008 r2 iso onto esxi 5.0?
Thanks,
Shaun
