#2 - do you have any working Windows VM ? - then install latest converter inside the VM. As for the system, I have the original copy of the vhd on my Windows Home Server, so if I bugger this up, I'll just replace it with another copy of that one. I'm willing to do what I have to, but I'd like to minimize the work, if possible. The vhd is 53GB in size (total size would be 291GB if it uses every byte), so I don't want to have to create another VM with a drive that big (I'm assuming I would have to) in order to convert it, if I don't have to. Off-hand, which of the services would apply to an AHCI SATA (like the one that VirtualBox uses)? And would your method work for that as well?Īnd, does it matter that I'm still using it as a vhd file? After all VMWarePlayer seems to be able to boot into it (or at least start to boot into it). So, which one should I have changed? (I changed the "Start" tag to 0 from 3, and left the "Type" tag at 1)
I have a "Start" and a "Type" tag in p2v\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS. You said to change the DWORD for the start type tag to 0. I do have a question from your site though.

This method worked perfectly on Virtual PC 2007. I tried when I installed Windows 7 on Virtual PC 2007 and started a virtual machine with that vhd file, and I tried when I put Windows 7s files on the vhd and started VMware Player - I did this because my pc has got only 512MB RAM. However, when I rebooted, it completely locked up my computer. Hi, thank you for answering I tried both. I used my Windows 7 installation disc and followed the steps on your "Easy Patching". It is not necessary to use it on a real machine #1 - thats easy - one boot into the win7 recovery CD and a small edit of the vmx-file will do - read my instructions here : But I'd prefer VMWare Player, as it's been around long enough to work more or less seamlessly with my situation. I may try it in VirtualBox, just to see if that works. And I'm not willing to wipe and reinstall Windows-just to convert it over, so I can reinstall Linux (unless that is the only way). Problem 2 is that since I'm on Linux, I can't download and run the VMWare Converter. Basically it's because my motherboard and hardware all changed (since VMWare doesn't use the same hardware specs). I tried using the Repair tools on my Windows 7 Disc, but it said that it was an unrepairable problem. When I start VMWare Player, and start the vhd, it blue screens with a 0x7B Stop Error. After that, I wiped and installed LInux, with the intent of using VMWarePlayer to load WIndows on the few times that I actually needed it. I was running Windows 7 32-bit on my laptop, and used Disk2vhd to covert it to a Virtual Hard Drive. I'm actually having a similar problem, but slightly different.
