Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user…

Error Message:

\\x.x.x.x is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.  Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.

I get this once in a while when working on files remotely.  To make it go away, do the following:

1. Go to Start->Run, type in cmd and hit Enter.
2. Type net use to view all mapped network shares.
3. Type net use \\network_share /del to disconnect that specific network share or  type net use * /del to disconnect all network shares.

Error Message:

Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.

If you get this error when installing Windows XP in VMware ESXi, simply do the following:

1. Download this floppy image which contains the VMware SCSI drivers: vmscsi-1.2.0.4.flp.
2. Upload the floppy image to the datastore using the VI Client.
3. Edit the virtual machine settings and select Floppy Drive 1, then choose the option on the right to “Use existing floppy image in datastore:” and select the floppy image.
4. Power on the virtual machine.
5. Press F6 when you see the message “Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver…” at the bottom of the screen.
6. Connect Floppy Drive 1.
7. Press S, then press Enter to select the VMware SCSI Controller driver, then press Enter again to continue with the setup.

That’s it! The Windows XP setup should now be able to detect the hard drives .
