VMware ESX4.1 下安装 Win8 或者 Win server 2012 的调试
VMware ESX4.1官方只支持到Win7和2008R2，想要装Win8 需要升级到ESX5.1以上。前些天客户提Case要求用Win8的环境。由于ESX升级可能会有数据丢失和其他的一些情况，而且暂时用Win8的用户不多，所以我们暂时不会升级。考虑到客户的需求所以我决定上网搜搜，尝试在ESX4.1上安装Win8。最后找到了一片技术文档，是个外国人写得：首先需要上传bios文件然后修改下配置文件就行了。
1.使用Windows Server 2008 R2模板建立虚拟机；2.下载BIOS文件并上传到虚拟机文件夹中；3.修改虚拟机文件夹中的*.vmx配置文件，添加以下几行：bios440.filename = “bios.440.rom”mce.enable = TRUEcpuid.hypervisor.v0 = FALSEvmGenCounter.enable = FALSE

原文如下:
Windows Server 2012 (and Windows 8) on VMWare ESXi 4.1
Due to the limitations of ESXi 5.1 i don’t want to install one in my Network. So i’m searched for a solution to run Windows Server 2012 (and Windows 8) on ESXi 4.1. After surfing around on the net i finally found a working solution in the VMWare forum.The following steps are done on own risk:So,
[*]Create anew VM over the vSphere Client.
[*]As “Guest Operating System” i used Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)”
[*]If you finished the creation of the VM download the follwing bios file and upload it to your ESXi datastore
[*]Move the bios file to the folder of the new VM
[*]Now open the .vmx file of the new VM and add the follwing lines
[*]bios440.filename = "bios.440.rom"
[*]mce.enable = TRUE
[*]cpuid.hypervisor.v0 = FALSE
[*]vmGenCounter.enable = FALSE
Now start the new VM and install Windows Server 2012 (or Windows 8) http://en.blog.skydriver.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif
调试安装过程
一、首先要关闭调试的VM
二、调试过程1 上传bios.440.rom文件，如下图
2 修改vmx配置文件
三、去装win8试试吧
