not enough space in my vm hard drive C:

the test vm w2008 x86 created with 10GB, it got filled up up with vcenter installed, I created another vm disk and moved pagefile to it.

still not enough room, I can't installed pluggins like vcenter converter. I tried to installed to another drive , but the stupid install wont let me.

guess what , this is a VM inside vmware workstation, so I extended the vm disk size. then in w2008 , extend the C: partition, phew ...

trying to install vmware 4.1 on windows hyper-v (v 1)

trying to install vmware 4.1 on windows hyper-v (v 1)

it is not going to work according to

http://sysadmin-e.com/esxi-on-hyper-v
The ESXi install gets stuck at this line: Booting: MBI=0x000100a8, entry=0x0040024a.
From what I've read, ESXi cannot install on IDE drives. Hyper-V does have SCSI virtual hard disk drives, but it doesn't allow a SCSI drive to be the boot/system drive. This is the notification in the Hyper-V Manager
