Creating a USB stick to boot ESXi 5.5

I planned to boot ESXi 5.5 from a USB stick and this is how I achieved it by using a windows machine:

1. Get a USB stick, 4GB will be sufficient.
2. Download the ESXi 5.5 installer ISO. You need to register to download the free version.
3. Download the software package Linux Live USB Creator and install it.
4. Insert USB stick into the computer and format it with a FAT32 file system.
5. Start the Linux Live USB Creator.
6. STEP1: select the USB stick.
7. STEP2: select ISO/IMG/ZIP and select the downloaded ESXi 5.5 ISO.
8. STEP4: deselect all options .
9. STEP5: click on the lightning bolt to create the USB boot disk.
10. When finished the tool will tell you that “Your LinuxLive key is now up and ready”.

On my machines the ESXi installer will hang while loading the installer on file "LSI_MR3.V00". Seem it has to do with RAID, but I do not need it on the host anyway. This is the fix:

1. Remove the file 'LSI_MR3.V00' from the root folder on the USB stick
2. Make a copy of the file 'LSI_MSGP.V00' and rename it to 'LSI_MR3.V00'

Put the USB stick into the machine that you want to install ESXi 5.5 on and boot it from this USB stick.
