VMWare ESXi 4.0 Issues and Resolutions
So, what's a boy to do when he sees this while configuring a VMWare ESXi 4.0 host, trying to put on a Datastore?
"Error during the configuration of the host: Failed to get disk partition information"
Well, he might first try updating it to the latest and greatest, then when it still didn't work, changing the method of disk access from the onboard RAID to AHCI to IDE mode. Neither of those would do it for him, however :-) Had to boot to, in my case, a Server 2003 install disk, reformat the drives, and then hop back onto VMWare and take the drives back over - good times!
