Iwould like to use my 64GB Extreme as a Windows 8 To Go host. However, this does not seem possible unless the drive can be made to be seen as fixed rather than removable. Please may soemone from Sandisk advise if it is possible to do this?
" Windows To Go is a feature in Windows 8 Enterprise that allows Windows 8 Enterprise to boot and run from mass storage devices such as USB flash drives and external hard disk drives.[1] It is a fully manageable corporate Windows 8 environment."
Using ChipGenius and UsbDeview we can find the PID and VID but not the controller and thus we do not know what commercially available tools (with reference from
flashboot.ru) can be used to flip the bit.
Although this topic is marked as solved, it is far from solved. I have still not been able to install Windows to Go on this drive, even though I bought it specifically for that. Can somebody point me to a way to flip the removable bit?
I flashed my 128gb sandisk sd with etcher on linux with ubuntu server 18 and 20 images both dont work even though it writes to the sd and says it was successful on etcher but both dont work. I also tried raspberry pi imager that also writes to the sd card but it still wont boot.
Summary: I have an IBM x3650, which I bought secondhand (eBay). I am trying to install and run VMWare ESXi 5.5 on it via a USB flash drive, but it will not boot from a USB flash drive. It simply does not give me option anywhere to boot from a USB device.
Details: I have turned on the USB-related option in the BIOS. I have visited the F12 boot device menu, and there is no USB option. I have booted from the ESXi installer CD, which was able to identify both of the flash drives I plugged in, but only after I pulled them out and plugged them back in. The device summary in the BIOS recognizes my mouse and keyboard in any port, but never sees any other connected USB devices.
Models, versions, etc: Server chassis identifies itself as a 797961U, but motherboard is different from the one in IBM's 7979 User Manual. It is running BIOS v1.19 (latest that I can find). I have tried a Kingston Datatraveler and Sandisk Cruzer Fit. I have tried all 6 external USB ports. There is no internal USB port on this model.
SanDisk Cruzer does not work. I tried some others which did not work either despite doing everything described in various forums. I went and bought a Imation for a few dollars and it worked perfectly for ESXi 5.1 as described in the forums.
I have an IBM x3650 (7979) and had similar issues installing FreeNAS 11.1 using SanDisk stick (Glide 16GB, which however worked great on my other systems using Supermicro boards). I booted the installation CD through X3650's builtin CD-ROM drive, and the installation saw the Cruzer stick, but process always failed with bunch of write errors to the USB drive. I finally overcame the problem using an old Kingston 32GB USB 2.0 stick (couple of years old), and the install went through without any issue. After the installation, I set the BIOS to boot from USB (F12 option, then select USB Drive, then make it "Persist").
The built-in ServeRaid-8K controller does not have native ZFS support, so I installed a low-profile LSI SAS HBA controller (HP variant of LSI SAS3442E-R, flashed to LSI IT mode) . I am so happy to bring this serve alive with FreeNAS!
I couldn't boot straight to a Proxmox VE USB boot key by just choosing the appropriate boot device in the F12 boot menu. (NB: Proxmox VE's installer seems to be built as an unconventional hybrid ISO image.)
I was testing out free esxi on a x3650 (7979) and I was able to get it to boot off an old 32Gb corsair voyager USB just fine. I wanted to free it up, so I bought a sandisk cruzer because I heard they are good performers, but I could not boot up off the sandisk. So I guess it depends on the USB stick as to whether the x3650 will see it or not.
