Hi,
I tried to install a ESXi 5.0 on my PC desktop for test purpose. That desktop has one hard disk which was installed with windows XP. My installation ran into this errors:
Error (see log for more info):
vmkfstools failed with message: Device path name "/vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA____ST3168812AS_________________41N3268_LEN_____________5LS9LFC9:8" is not a valid absolute or relative path

/vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhbaA: T:L:P

Is there any error on my hard disk? Do I have to format the disk before installing ESXi?
