Hi,
I have installed ESXi 5.1 on my system. I managed to install VM server 2008 with no problem. However, when I try to install XP or Windows 7 the system fails to see the SATA hard drive. I consulted with motherboard manufacturer (Gigabyte) and they said ESXi 5 does not support Intel ICH7 (my motherboard) . ESXi only support ICH9 and above.
Since I do need to install Windows 7 in order to create a simple network in order to prepare myself for Microsoft exam, I do need to remove ESXi5.1 and replace it with ESXi 4.
I don't see any facility within vSphare client to remove my ESXi5.1. How do I do this?
Thank you for any help in advance.
Hamid
