My understanding is that ESXi does have better performance and management tools than Hyper-V, Now I just need to figure out what it will take to get from a Hyper-V config Into ESXi...

@groMMit1981 This is a good question, and what i am exploring right now, to resolve some underlying performance issues I have with a required LEGACY configuration and I am trying to figure out which is better when needing to do this. I actually have a requirement for a Win2K server and some Win98 Boxes, and I am starting to think this MIGHT be a better fit for ESXi....

This is very much like when you are formatting a disk, from within Windows and you have the option to 'quick format' which again makes the entire drive available immediately for use instead of having to wait for the drive to be formatted. This is a great time saver, however as with the RAID option, you do want to perform the recommended steps to achieve a fully verified disk system for the highest reliability.

@duffyrichard cool, thumbs up dell. My companys does it all manually with HP servers for some reason. Why Hyper-V instead of ESXi?

What's the difference between the fast and normal initialisation of the virtual disk?
Why do you boot from the Dell CD first and not the hyper-v cd?

@groMMit1981 So all the necessary drivers and files are copied from the Dell CD to a pre-installation partition so that i don't run in to any issues with missing drivers during the OS install

I allocated 1 TB for the OS (plus I also store the ISO files on there) because I am a big believer that you can never have too much storage and this gives me plenty of space to play with as well.
