Intel didn't certify drivers for these cards on 2012 or W8 and I'm not interested in buying new NICs (at enterprise/server grade prices) for a development environment. Has anyone gotten them to work properly? I also have a bunch of MT NICs as well but those are really old so I'm not worried...

Error on install: A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now. Note: If the installation media for Windows is in the DVD drive or on a USB drive you can safely...

is there a current vmdk file to pull from vmware or Microsoft?

I don't have W8 as a dropdown on my ESXi menu and I'm getting a lot of bugs and issues to the point that I can't even install the RP as a VM. Seems that everyone is able to run W8 on some flavor of a free hypervisor but I'm striking out finding info on ESXi. I've been able to get it working on...

Thanks so much! I will have to explore this in the coming days/nights. Thanks again so much!

I'm using W8 on the machine I have hooked up to my TV. I like the look and feel of W8 a lot (on a big flat screen TV) but I'm having some n00b issues and I can't seem to Google or search to find the answers. For example, I have a NAS with movies and when I open more than one movie at a time...

I hate to bump this thing from such a long time ago. I just bought 7 Gateway SX2855 machines. They are i3 boxes. I can't for the life of me get W8 RP (32 or 64) to install via USB using YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) | USB Pen Drive Linux I have zero problems using that Multiboot USB...

I've performed these steps (which are a royal pain, I had to manually re-write most of my config files) and I still can't get it to work properly - W8 32 & 64 or Server-8 - nothing works!! :(

Has anyone gotten any W8 version to work/install on ESXi 5.0? If so could you provide instructions? Thx.

I have a machine that's maxed out on SATA power connectors (there are only 8 and all 8 are used). I have a few other things coming out of my PSU (like auxiliary power cables for video cards, spare fans, etc.). I also have a 4-wire Molex/PATA (the white plugs) power connector that's unused...

Because as of now you can strip down W8 so it looks identical to W7 - and for me it's a nice (free) way to give clients a demo/trial of a VM without running into any licensing or activation issues. A new version (W9 or whatever) means a new headache with drivers, etc. That's all, just curious.

I assume there is no way around this?

Update - still nothing. Anyone have luck installing this on Dell Precision machines?

if you install Hyper-V first you can then install Workstation but not the other way around. you just can't run multiple HV's at the same time (i think).

After 3 weeks of asking on the Dell community forums I've gotten a private message from a forum moderator or dell engineer - not sure which. He says he has forwarded my info along to someone and they will be in touch soon (this is as of 1/3/2012 @ 18:00 EST). Sorry to not be of any more help but...
