Installing vSphere 5.5

Insert the install media, in my case a CD and boot the machine. Ensure that the machine is set to boot from your media and allow it to run its course. A blue screen will appear and ask if you wish to boot from installer or local disk , as this is a fresh install, select installer .

The installer will load and may take some time as the yellow bar crosses the screen. Then a grey box will appear on the screen, press Enter to continue, read the EULA and press F11 to continue. Choose the device to install to and press Enter , if there is already an installation then you can upgrade but in this instance I select install and press Enter . Prior to partitioning and installing, press installer to confirm and continue
