"ERROR 1962: No operating system found." After installing ESXi 5.5 successfully.

I just installed VMware vSphere esxi 5.5 hypervisor on my lenovo think-center machine with config: i5, 3.2gHz, >300gb SATA HDD, 6GB ram. However after successful installation I receive "ERROR 1962: NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND". I've tried 'formatwithmbr' and tweaking some of my BIOS setting like changing boot mode to legacy,auto and UEFI one after another, putting boot preference for HDD first etc. But none seems to work. I think BIOS and its settings are completely ineffective when it tries to boot, and I am not even taken to the esxi 5.5 hypervisor menu. Kindly help.
PS- The machine had windows server 2012 as running OS while installing esxi 5.5.

Dear rachitt_23
1. May I know what machine are you using?
2. Check whether Intel VT Technology is Enabled? 
3. Even if the boot mode is set to Auto, check that it is configured to Legacy first.

  • When the keyboard is unplugged I get "Error 1962: No Operating system found."

    I have a new Lenovo ThinkServer TS130 1105B2U. It has a Core i3-3220 and 4GB of memory. SATA 0 and SATA 1 each have a 250GB HDD configured to mirror each other using RAID1. I just finished installing Windows 7 Pro and drivers. However, I have discovered that when I try to reboot the machine with my USB keyboard disconnected I get "Error 1962: No operating system found. Press any key to repeat boot sequence." When I reconnect the USB keyboard and reboot the machine, Windows 7 Pro boots like expected. Why can't it find the operating system if the keyboard is unplugged?

    This is fixed in BIOS version 20B.
    You can use the following link to update BIOS from witin Windows.

  • H520s Error 1962 No operating system found

    Hi, I have a Lenovo H520s, and two problems just appeared. First of all, it started to show "Start PXE over IPv4," then after waiting for a while "PXE-E18: Server response timeout. Start PXE over IPv6" would appear. A little bit later, the computer simply shows "Error 1962: No operating system found."
    I went into the BIOS and I have Boot Mode set to "Auto" with UEFI first. I don't know where to go from here.
    I recently used IOBit Uninstaller to uninstall all the software for my Epson WF-3540 scanner/printer and then reinstalled everything, and my only theory was that IOBit uninstaller deleted something that it should not have. This is probably the first time I have turned the computer off and on again since then.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

  • B540p error 1962 no operating system found

    i have had nothing but problems with this model since day 1. i upgraded to windows 8 and have suffered all of the associated symptoms that everybody else is suffering..
    today is the last straw.. i have an error 1962 .. no operating system found..
    i have been overly patient.. fixing this brand new machine has taken alot of time and effort...
    why should i already have spent all this time on a brand new machine..
    there is only help on here from other frustrated users. i find this incredible for a machine that cost over 900 pounds..
    lenovo have had very little in the way of advice to their customers on here over this machine..
    the answer to this problem nay have been very easily solved..
    THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BIG WARNING  SENT OUT WITH THIS MACHINE..
    NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 8... BUT HEY WHO WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE MACHINE THEN???
    I HAVE A BRAND NEW MACHINE THAT SIMPLY DOESNT WORK...
    AND WITH WINDOWS 8 UPGRADED ONLINE.. WINDOWS 7 IS GONE FOREVER..
    SURELY ITS TIME TO ASK FOR A PRODUCT RECALL..
    the worst thing about buying this is that I dont even know if I would have had the same amount of problems if I hadnt upgraded to windows 8... lenovo seem to be hiding behind this issue.. its a windows 8 problem , not lenovo, or its a store problem, they are the ones who said it would be compatible...
    I saw nothing from lenovo to say , dont upgrade..
    this machine simply doesnt work and its surely time for lenovo to do something about it.

    Edit : saddly the crappy message came back. It seems that indeed it's a connection matter. When it reconnects the HDD correctly, sometimes it messes up with the boot sequence so this is why I could "repair" somemthing.
    Waiting for the SAV.
    Hi there, I felt on that topic today since the brand new Lenovo B540 computer of my wife gave us that deadly message.
    Well .. I have been able to make it work (so I think, I don't trust that computer anymore)
    So, I registered in order to share what I did :
    First of all I created a bootable usb key with http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
    In that little jewel I used Parted Magic (in the first page, third from the bottom) to realize that "hey, the HD is actually HERE !!" I could see the files modify them etc ..
    But since I ain't no expert I haven't been able to use the tools to change something. However, I could see that something was wrong with the boot sequence, that the letter of my hardrive was on D:\ and the booting was on some weird Lenovo partition... So, I said to myself : Well, lets find a way to place back the boot on the D:\
    I then created a Recovery CD from my Win7 64bit personnal installation.
    To create such a CD, place an empty CD in your burner :
    Start menu -> Run -> recdisc -> choose the letter of your CD/DVD burner -> create
    Then I booted on it (you must the *Boot Priority: [Auto].)
    After a decade of loading, the windows 7 recovery system found a Boot error and asked me if I wanted it to be repaired. Of course, I said "YES, f...k YES !!" .. and, of course, it didn't work . . .
    But, interesting thing is, after the fix failed, I had some options like restore previous versions etc etc and "DOS Line codes (or something like that, it pops up a CMD line comands window).
    And then the real deal started :
    I placed myself on the correct letter -> D:
    Then that line of code : BootRec /RebuildBcd
    After two decades of works, it asked me if I wanted the D letter to be added back on the boot list. Of course, I said "YEEEEEEEEEES" while crying my soul out, and then, of course, it made me an error ...
    After a 10 min of curses that you don't want to hear, I then typed : BootRec /fixboot
    And it worked.
    I rebooted on the Windows CD recovery who of course found one more time the Boot issue, and when I asked for it to repair that error : IT F... WORKED !!
    I rebooted 3 times the PC just to be sure, turned it off 2 times, everything SEEMS to be fine.
    So, I share that with you now, because all the way I used I found it here and there on this forum !
    Hope it helps

  • ERROR CODE 1962 - NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND

    My B540 continues to experience intermittent problems with Error Code 1962-No Operating System Found.  Sometimes the computer will run correctly for 3 or 4 days, other times for just an hour, but in the end it repeatedly locks up and will not reboot.  If I check the Bios Setup immediately after this happens, it says that there is no HDD.  However, if I wait for an hour or two with the computer off, it will boot.
    1. The logical explanation is that the HDD is faulty, but that is not so in this case.  In addition to the HDD that came with the computer, I have tried two other HDDs, both brand new, never used, and both with fresh Win 7 installs.  Both of those ended up with the same Error Code 1962.  There is no way that all three HDDs could be defective.
    2. I removed and reseated the memory.
    3. I ran extensive diagnostic tests on the memory; it tests OK.
    4. Someone suggested plugging the HDD SATA cable into a different SATA connection, but the B540 only has two connections (one for the HDD, one for the optical drive).  I swapped those two, but still got the error code.
    I have to believe that the problem is with the motherboard.  I have noticed on the forum that other people are experiencing the same 1962 error code; has anyone found a working solution?
    Thanks!

    Ah, bummer.  Thought maybe I was onto something...

  • TS130 ERROR CODE 1962 - NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND

    Lenovo TS130 Ubuntu Server 14.04 Error 1962: This error occurred during the installation of Ubuntu Server on a hard drive that was completely deleted and then re-partioned using "use entire disk" option in the installation menu: No operating system would start regardless of the BIOS settings such as UEFI, legacy, auto; quickboot; etc.
    The solution was to update the BIOS to the latest version from the Lenovo website and then enable the new securboot feature in the BIOS menu.
    For the TS130, this was accomplished by burning the BIOS update on a CD after downloading for the system from the Lenovo website and then updating the server via the CD and on-screen prompts.
    The optimize BIOS defaults was selected from the Exit menu in the BIOS settings to set everything back to original before the update was run.
    Then the CD drive was moved upwards above the hard drive under primary in the boot menu to run the BIOS Update CD at boot.
    Afterwards, there will be additional options in the BIOS menu which is where the solution lies. There is a new option below the "load optimal defaults" which is new from the BIOS update and named optimize operating system defaults. Selecting this will bring up prompts asking about enabling securboot and such but if everything is enabled, the system started Ubuntu Server 14.04 without issues.

  • [SOLVED] No operating system found after installation

    Hey there,
    I'm new to Arch, I switched from Ubuntu and I'm willing to give Arch a fair try. My system is now more or less up and running and I'm very excited.
    However, I can only boot with the CD inserted and by choosing "Boot existing OS". If I remove the CD, I cannot boot because no OS is found on the harddisk.
    I tried running "grub-install /dev/sda" again, but that didn't work.
    I installed using "gdisk". My main system partition is encrypted, but /boot is not encrypted. I used a simple partition layout with LUKS, no LVM. I tried to find my error on the Installation Guide and the Beginners Guide, but I can't figure out what I did wrong...
    Help would be much appreciated. Let me know if you use further information.
    Thanks in advance

    For UEFI, you need an EFI System Partition. You don't need the BIOS boot partition.
    Oh, and the installation CD needs to have been booted in UEFI mode as well. UEFI systems generally support both UEFI booting and legacy BIOS emulation. If you boot in BIOS mode, GRUB won't be able to install properly. You can run your whole setup in BIOS emulation mode if you don't particularly care for UEFI, but then using a legacy MSDOS partition table would perhaps be preferrable over GPT. (Or so the Wiki says.)
    As for "booting in UEFI mode" -- when I start my system up, I can press F11 to bring up a selection of where to boot from. Your key is likely going to vary, but the important bit is that -- on my computer at least -- it shows me two very similar entries for the Arch CD -- except one has "UEFI: " prepended to it -- that's the one I use to boot in UEFI mode. Your mileage is going to vary, but hopefully it'll be somewhat similar.
    I found an option in my BIOS to enable UEFI, but it is disabled by default. I find it quite strange that I have to enable this in order to make my installation work, as I never did this with Ubuntu. If I enable the third option (see pic), then I can boot the CD in UEFI mode. So that works. My question now is: Can I fix my installation or do I have to reinstall the entire system? I read in the wiki that the UEFI system partition has to be FAT32 and there is a minimal size of 256MB. However, my current boot partition is only 200MB. So I cant just reformat my old boot partition, or am I wrong?

  • 2 probs! HDD Formatted and no recovery discs and "1962 NO Operating System" error message

    Hi, I have had my Lenovo Idecentre B540 for approx 2 weeks now and my hard drive had to be formatted and windows reinstalled.  However, this means the partition is lost and i had no recovery disc or drivers disc with it so have been unable to get the touchscreen working and probably missing out on all the features that were the reasons for buying this machine.
    Running Windows 7 home premium and have downlaoded all the drivers from the support page on here but nothing there for the touch panel drivers and cant find it or ideatouch 4.5 online either.
    I would like a disc sending to me or a link to be able to downlaod please.
    Also now i have had
    "1962 no operating system" error message when booting. ANy known reason for this? Lots of guesses online but no concrete answer.

  • T43: "No operating system found"

    I have an aftermarket, Western Digital 320 GB harddrive installed on my T43 (2668).  Every now and then it will display a "No operating system found" message.  After some random number of restart attempts, it will work, and firefox will even remember the tabs I had open.  It will display the 2010 error, but that is not a problem.  Does anyone know how to fix/avoid this?

  • I want to install CyberLink PowerDirector on my Macbook Pro but I need Windows software operating system to be install ? I need help!

    I  downloaded PowwerDirector 12 trial and when I try to open it,  I got a message that "CyberLink PowerDirector was not compatible to Mac". After some inquiries, I found that I need Winows software operating system to be install in Mac! Can sombody help me?

    For Windows on a Mac you'd have to own a Windows retail system installer with keycode, and use BootCamp utility in the Mac OS X to set up a partition on the computer hard disk drive (issues? if you have Apple Fusion Drive where a SSD + HDD are automatically co-joined) and then install the Windows system there.
    Or get & use Parallels, or VMFusion software and use it along with Windows to run applications written for a Windows OS. And would need to have a large internal hard disk drive with plenty of room since the space for Windows takes away space for Mac OS X and its applications to run; and also you'd need plenty of chip RAM installed to run this other System plus software... and for Windows, its own anti-virual software not needed at all in a Mac.
    Not sure about this, http://www.wondershare.com/video-editor/mac/ suggests in their advert to be something to use if you can't use the cyberlink product.
    Or don't want to buy the upscale or pro Apple image software that does a fine job at a cost. I'd try & avoid running Windows in a Mac even though it can run three or more different OS, including linux/unix builds.
    Never heard of either one: wondershare or cyberlink powerdirector.
    (the latter looked 'more pro' for windows)
    {But check for any hint of some odd effects before you get and install any software from a marginal or unknown source, since adware can follow, and really odd things can start to happen then, like search engine redirects.}
    Anyway, helpful information about your computer and its current configuration, OS X version, RAM installed, hard disk drive specs (free vs used capacity) are numbers that can make a difference going into a new thing. Even Mavericks alone is not an upgrade, often that requires a bunch of extra chip RAM capacity.
    Not sure if this helps, another may offer more direct ideas...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Virtual WLC on VMWare vCloud - No Operating System Found

    Hi,
    Trying to install/deploy a virtual WLC image (7.6) on a VMWare virtual Cloud Domain (VCD) environment.
    The OVF deployment runs just fine, but as soon I am booting up the image, VMWARE is stating "No Operating System found".
    What am I doing wrong?
    /Sijbren

    Fixed this one.
    In VMWARE Cloud Directory you do not have access to the directory structure.
    In a "normal" VMWARE environment the OVA file is correctly deployed including mounting a bootable ISO as CDROM disk. This does not happen in VCD.
    To fix this, you must manually upload the ISO and mount it to the VM in VCD.
    The ISO can only be recovered from a regular VMWARE OVA deployment.

  • Big troubles! clicking hard disk, no operating system found

    hi group.i have a satellite p305d-s8828 laptop. i was told my hard drive is fried. when i turn it on, theres a constant clicking noise and then message that no operating system found. any ideas? anybody? PLEASE.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Of course there is.  They make good quality drives, that perform well, are affordable, with excellent reliability, something most of the others can not claim.
    Seagates over the past few years have had too high of a failure rate.  They used to make some excellent drives (I have a couple of older 7300.10's from 2006 that are still running strong) but pretty much anything made after the 7200.10's have been problematic at best.  They also tend to run MUCH hotter than comparable drives from WDC which is one of the main things that kill hard drives.  Since laptops are so compact there is no way to adequately cool down overly hot hard drives so Seagates really aren't a good option. 
    Toshiba hard drives run slow and hot, two things you don't want in a hard drive.  That's enough to keep them off of my recommended list.
    Fujitsu used to make great drives, but now that they are part of Toshiba I question their quality and have to place them on the same avoid at all costs with Seagate and Toshiba.
    I've never used any Samsung hard drives and have no experience with them.  While I don't go so far as to say avoid them at all costs like I do Toshiba and Seagate hard drives, I can't recommend them as I simply don't have anything to base an opinion on one way or another. 
    Hitachi make some excellent drives, and their 7K500 is the best overal performing hard drive and come highly recommended by people who know that I trust.  That would be the only NON WDC drive I would recommend.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
