Schnapps Posted August 30, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 30, 2014 No, it can't be done. Why don't you use an USB stick as everyone is doing it like this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htpcdude Posted August 30, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 30, 2014 Why are you telling him it can't be done when fma965 has posted a guide? http://cyanlabs.net/Thread-Install-Nano ... h-USB-ESXi Have you tried to follow the guide and confirm it doesn't work?

manfriday Posted August 30, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 30, 2014 It's nice to know it's possible but I am looking for insight on why. Correct me when I'm wrong but the USB stick ticks the boxes of, next to nothing in heat generation & power draw, no moving parts to wear out, no noise, don't have to give a slot in the case. Giving up capacity on a HDD for a handful of MB for a few minutes of boot time. Feel free to add or subtract from the list. cheers MF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
