The Selected Disk is of the GPT Partition Style

There are two partition schemes available to use with the hard disk. Respectively, the first one is the MBR partition table and the second one is the GPT partition table.

Also, there are two kinds of booting systems available for computers. The first one is UEFI boot and the second one is Legacy boot.

If we choose the UEFI boot option during the computer startup, then it will check for the GPT partition on the hard disk. Similarly, if we choose the Legacy boot option then it will check for the MBR partition on the hard disk. 

If the UEFI boot option didn't get any GPT partition or the Legacy boot option didn't get any MBR partition, then the computer booting process will be failed. 

Suppose, we are going to install the "Windows Operating System". In the first boot option, we have selected the UEFI enable booting method. In that case, the "Windows Installation Process" will check for the GPT partition on the hard disk. If it didn't find any GPT partition information on the hard disk, then it will display the following error message:-

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. ON EFI system windows can only be installed to GPT disks."

or

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style."

In the same way, if we choose the normal booting method or the legacy method from the "First boot menu", then the setup process will scan for the MBR partition information on the hard disk. If it didn't find any MBR partition information on the hard disk then it will display the following error message. 

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."

To resolve this issue, we have to select the right booting method to complete our "Windows Installation Process". If our hard disk is formatted with the GPT partition system, then we have to select the "UEFI booting method" from the "First boot list". On the other hand, if our hard disk is formatted with the MBR partition style, then we have to select the "Legacy booting method" from the "First Boot Menu".

In this tutorial, we assume that we will use the USB Flash Drive to complete the installation of our "Windows Operating System". And we also assume that we will use the "Rufus" software to create the bootable USB flash disk. In this software, there is an option available to select the partition scheme for the bootable USB disk. 

If our hard disk is formatted with the GPT partition, then we will select the GPT partition scheme from that option.

And if our hard disk is formatted with the MBR partition then we will select the MBR partition scheme from that option.

After creating the bootable USB flash drive, then we have to choose the right booting method from the "First Boot Menu". Remember, for the GPT formatted hard disk choose the UEFI boot method and for the MBR formatted hard disk choose the Legacy boot method.

That's it. Now, our windows installation process should be completed without any error.

Mikrotik Loopback Adapter

In this lesson, we are going to learn about, how to create a loopback interface in the Mikrotik router. In Mikrotik, there is no direct option to create a loopback adapter. For that, we have to create a bridge interface and that interface should be named "loopback".

That's it. Your Mikrotik loopback interface is ready to work. In this way, more loopback interfaces can be added as your requirement.

No host Is Compatible With The Virtual Machine

After creating the virtual machine, when we are going to start it, then the below error message appears.

No host is compatible with the virtual machine

The system fails to start that virtual machine because the required resources to start that virtual machine isn't available on any of the hosts. These resources can be any hardware resources, it can be a port group that is configured with the virtual machine or it can be any other VM configuration settings. If these resources are unavailable or do not exist, then that error message appears.

Suppose, we have configured our virtual machine with 4 core CPUs and 16 GB ram. At the time, when we are going to start it, the placement engine will check if there are available resources (4 core CPUs and 16 GB RAM) on that host to start that virtual machine. If the placement engine is found the free core for CPUs and the free space of ram then it will start that virtual machine. Otherwise, the starting process will be failed and that error message appears.

To resolve this issue, just make sure you have enough resources available on your host that you have configured for the virtual machine.

In the DRS enabled environment, just make sure that any of the hosts have available free resources to start that virtual machine. If not available then that error message will appear and the VM starting process will fail.

api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-0.dll is missing

Today we are going to discuss about one common error message during start the software. After installing when we are going to run the software, we got the following error message.

That means, the software we are trying to run is based on api-ms-win-crt-runtime.dll. And we get this DLL file from Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Redistributable Package. So when this software is not installed in our computer, and depending on which software we run, we get the error message. 

So to solve this problem we just need to install the Microsoft Visual c ++  Redistributable package for Visual studio 2015. Only then will our software run.

We may download the software from Microsoft's website if we wish. The download link is given below:

After installing it I hope the problem will be solved.

Thanks.

Host in a vSAN cluster does not have vSAN service enabled.

At the time, we enable the vSAN service on the vSphere cluster, the necessary vSAN configuration will be done on all the host of that cluster automatically.

Moreover, when we add a new host to our vSAN enabled cluster, then that new host will be configured with the same vSAN configuration automatically.

In this article, we will discuss about an error message, that is appearing during that vSAN configuration process.

The error message is :-

"Host in a vSAN cluster does not have vSAN service enabled."

This error message indicates that, one of the host of our cluster is not configured with the  VMkernel adapter that have vSAN service enabled.

To resolve this issue, we have to create a new VMkernel adapter that have vSAN service enabled. Or we can use a existing VMkernel adapter and enable the vSAN service on that adapter.

Also, please make sure that, the VMkernel adapter is connected with vSAN network.

That's it. Now, the vSAN configuration process should be completed successfully without that error message.
