vmWare: Installing Windows XP on ESX using LSI Logic Driver

David Mohorn — Tue, 06 May 2008 03:31:19 GMT

I have been having fun the past couple of days installing ESX 3.02 under vmWare Workstation 6.

I won't bore you with all the technical details, however there is an excellent write-up here.

I have since ran into a snag when trying to install XP under my virtualized copy of ESX. During the XP setup, XP would complain that it could not find my HD. I ran across this wondering article which worked flawlessly. I did, however, use the BusLogic driver.

HP has a MediaSmart version of Windows Homserver that comes with either a 500MB or 1TB configuration. I just received my 1TB system and have it up and running. The system is simply amazing!

The system appears to work flawlessly and I enjoy the HP MediaShare add-on that allows me to easily upload photos to my server an make them accessible to family and friends.

I love the fact that I can access my files and servers remotely..

You can get yours from Amazon today!
