But sometimes, you need to boot from USB Flash Drive, such as to test installation of pre-configured system, to boot your favorite operating system which comes in USB edition, etc. At this time, VMWare Workstation 7 isn’t officially support booting from USB Flash Drive yet, but there is a workaround which can help you boot from USB Flash Drive by using Plop Boot Manager.
By default, SSH is disabled on VMWare ESXi Server but you can enable SSH manually. It’s easy, just take a few minutes and few steps to enable SSH. On this example, I am going to show how to enable SSH on VMWare ESXi Server 3.5 on HP ProLiant BL25p G2.
After 5 parts have been passed, you know how to create a virtual machine, install a new operating system, install virtual machine additions.

Now you have a virtual machine which hasn’t installed any operating system yet. It like you have a new another PC but it is in the virtual machine. So this part I show how install Windows XP on the virtual machine. But I won’t include full detail of how to install Windows XP.
