Install ESXi on USB or Flash Drive from Windows

Download the VMware ESXi .ISO file from www.vmware.com.

Download and install HP USB Disk Format Tool, IZarc and Winimage.

Use HP USB Format Tool to format your USB device, particularly if it has a previous bootable OS / utility on it. A quick format should do, but if you can afford the time perform a full format.

Use Izarc to extract the file imagedd.bz2 from the ESXi ISO file.

Use Izarc to extract the file imagedd from imagedd.bz2.

Open Winimage and select 'Disk', 'Restore Virtual Hard Disk image on physical drive', select your USB device, OK, change 'Virtual Hard Disks (*.vhd)' to 'All'. Select the imagdd file extracted previously and click Yes.

Reboot and test your bootable ESXi USB device.
