If you boot your virtual machine from a winpe .iso file it would be the same as a physical system. Make sure your winpe system has the right disk controller drivers.<br />
<br />
Another method would be to run diskpart.exe from a different VM like this: <a href="http://www.vmprofessional.com/index.php?content=2k3resize" rel="ugc">http://www.vmprofessional.com/index.php?content=2k3resize</a><br />

I am trying to addd our image to a esx 3.5 server. The way it works with our physical workstation is when a new version of a workstation comes out. I run winpe to it maps to our bde server for altiris and then does a install. <br />
<br />
When I try this in vmware winpe does not recognise the virtual disks via diskpart.exe does anyone know how to get diskpart or winpe to recognise virtual disks <br />

Winpe\diskpart.exe with esx 3.5

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
