Apply an XP image on an identcal machine that has a factory installed Windows 7

I'm trying to apply a picture XP on a computer that has Windows 7 preinstalled at the factory.

I created the image of xp on the same machine using an operating system XP from the same factory.

I found all the necessary drivers for the hardware, installed all the additional software, Sysprep, started in WinPE on a USB key and captured the image of the C drive.

When I try to apply the image on another machine, I get BSOD.

Before I apply the image, I run diskpart.exe to "Clean" the hard drive, create a primary partition, make active, assign letter = C, then format it with fs = ntfs/Quick.

I tried to use bootsect/nt52 C: on that as well... .no luck there...

I ran out of thoughts, one way to solve this problem... I need your help.

The BSOD is a stop 0x0000007B which I think is a mistake of mass storage... but given that these are accurate machines, why would there be a difference in the captured image?

sigh... found the problem.

I forgot the machines come from the factory with the BIOS SATA 'Raid On' setting that must be set to the ATA.

Changed the BIOS setting and everything was fine.

  • Configure replication vSphere fails - there is a virtual machine that has the same UUID instance than the one you are trying to configure

    Hi all


    My colleague was trying to extend a hard disk of a server 2008R2 who (1) had a snapshot and (2) was being replicated. The operation has failed and they took the snapshot replication can be stopped. Long story short when I got to him, the server could not be configured for replication and could not extend the disk and a vMotion failed.

    Looking at the files of the VM on the data store and the VMs .vmx file we have all the characteristics of a virtual machine always configured for replication of vSphere. If you try to configure replication vSphere causes an instant error "vsphere replication does not support change the length of a replicated disk. After a few changes I can reconfigure vSphere new replication, however, when the wizard has finished, I get a new error message (see below):

    "Try to set up vSphere that replication has failed for the VM"name vm"during the creation of groups"vm". There is a virtual "vm-name" machine that has the same instance UUID ' UUID of the Virtual Machine "that you want to configure. The existing vSphere of replication is configured for site protection.

    A possible solution would be to reset the database embedded VRMS our DR as suggested here VR configure replication after losing a VC site server but I was wondering if there is another solution? I have not reset the database of VRM before and cannot find a document that tells exactly what to do. I guess I need to stop all the rehearsals before resetting the database?

    See you soon,.

    Dean

    Hello

    There is no need to reset the VRMS database.

    If you know the value GID... an orphan replication, you can use the CROWD VRMS (https://vrms_address:8043/mob/?moid=GID-...&vmodl=1) to call the destroy method - it is eliminating simple replication to the site of the source or the target.

    If you don't know the GID... value, it can be found of VRMS DB or log files. Please file an SR for assistance.

    This procedure is already documented in internal KB articles and help using VMware support:

    KB article internal 2056086, section "cannot replicate virtual machine as there is another virtual machine with the same UUID instance"

    and also internal KB article 2060751.

    The admin guide section will be updated as it is confusing right now by suggesting only to reset the DB.

  • I can clone (clone full) a virtual machine that has snapshots of Vcenter.

    Hi gurus,

    Can I clone (clone full) an of Vcenter virtual machine that has snapshots.

    Kind regards

    Kamlesh.

    Hello

    Yes, you can clone the virtual computer.

    But your new virtual machine (the clone) will have none of the snapshots of the source of the VM.

    This will be just a version of the source running.

  • How to remove a virtual machine that has lost the storage

    Hello

    I want to remove the drive a virtual machine that has lost its storage. This storage kept OS files and so on. The problem is that because it is lost I can't access most options since they are grey (eg. delete disk). I can't get out of the inventory, but I want to remove it completely. It is impossible to recover the storage that was missing. What is a way to remove it?

    Thanks adavance

    It's because everything else for the virtual machine has been wrapped in storage.

    This can only be achieved with the two computers (client and host) running Windows Ultimate or business. They can be either at each end, but if you're Pro or Home it does not work by default.

  • Can I use the same product key in a virtual machine that I use for the Windows installation that hosts the VM?

    I have a valid Windows 7 Professional installation as well as a copy of VMWare Workstation running on Windows 7. I would like to install a VM Windows 7 that I can "break" without worrying about my host system. Can I use the same product key for the virtual machine that I currently use on the host system, or do I have to buy a different product key for the virtual machine?

    Thank you!

    No, you will need to purchase an additional license. The virtual machine is considered to be a separate computer.

  • Adding a virtual machine that has been previously saved

    Hello. I backed up a virtual machine that was running in an ESX (ESX n ° 1) and transfer all of its files in an a different ESX (ESX No. 2) data store. How should I add this VM in the new ESX (ESX No. 2)? I'm not using vCenter, I connect directly to the ESX Server via vSphere Client.

    The only way I found to do this is to create a new virtual machine in ESX No. 2, and when I add the new hard drive, I select the old VM hard. But this process is not so clean. For example, I read that if I used vCenter I'd be able to disconnect the server ESX n ° 2 of my datacenter and plug it back again, and when I do he added all the virtual machines that are within its data store automatically. The problem, as I said, is that I'm not using vCenter.

    Thanks in advance.

    Warlock.

    Once you access the data store and find the files, you can simply right click on the VMX file and select "Add to inventory."  This will allow you to add the virtual machine to your host without manually creating a new virtual machine and pointing to the existing VMDK file.

  • A friend bought a W7 machine that has a registered prior administrator. I can easily hack this account and to delete it, but is there not a good way to do this through channels of MS?

    Remove a prior system administer from a retail machine Superstore (P 7), without password.

    You should never continue to use a computer that was previously saved by another user that you have no idea of what is on the computer.

    The manufacturer would have provided a recovery procedure for the computer, which allows you to restore the PC to its factory condition. It would be the only known solution.

  • How to load images in the 'People' app that has all my contacts and a lot of white sillouettes. Very frustrating! Rodcliff

    I tried every way I can think to get photos in this app and all the photos that I need are on the same computer, in 'Photos' photography only in that I can put my own photo account. None of the settings or the app command bar downstairs offer me the option. I'm stuck.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft. We are here to help you with all your Windows questions or issues.

    You mentioned that you are unable to load the photos to the App to people with all your contacts in it and it is showing a white figure some of these contacts.

    What exactly are you trying to do? You try to set pictures to your contacts, showing the white figure?

    If you try to put photos of your contacts, showing the white figure in the people App, then I'm sorry to inform you that this can be done with the people App. This is because; the people App does not work like the other application to management of Contact where the contacts are stored in a local file on the computer. In People Soft, contacts are not saved to a local file. It is linked with the online account of that special person that you added to the App people.

    For example, if you add your Facebook account to the people App, all contacts that it will be shown in the people App, but they are not saved locally. It is just linked to your Facebook account. Thus, the image of a particular contact will change unless the account holder he spends his account.

  • Move a virtual machine that has a raw lun mapped to SAN

    Dear all,

    I need expert advice for this case. I have a virtual machine on a host with esxi 4.0, but due to many machines same virtual host we are experiencing memory problems and have decided to move this virtual machine to another host with less VM and less use of resources.

    I plan 1 HR time to perform this task, this virtual machine have two drives one windows partition and the second 20 GB as mapped lun on SAN. So when you move it to another host, what I'll do is tap to stop the virtual machine, go to another host and storage switch to VM folder and add the VM.vmx file to add it to the inventory of the new host. What about the case of raw LUN mapped, how to take care of it.

    Please advise, it is little urgent.

    Thank you

    I guess there is no vCenter at stake here and you have no option for vMotion? The RDM, I would like to stop the virtual machine, detach the RDM LUN, migrating the virtual machine and re - attach the RDM.  As long as the two hosts can see SAN/RDM, you should be good with that.

  • Damaged Restore points/images for a virtual machine only

    I have a vDR 1.2 with sharing CIFS 490 GB attached to it as a backup destination.

    Whenever I save one of my VM TI-error on this issue of restoration of VM and brands it damaged when you run integrity checks the next day.

    It is only on this one (Windows 200 SP4) virtual machine. I can select for deletion, then restart the integrity check that it will remove.

    But then, once I created a new backup of the VM (which always succeeds for this virtual machine) the integrity check will mark it damaged, I do not know why, always the same VM.

    It has 3 hard drives, 5, 8 and 11 GB. I have an another win 2000 SP4 virtual machine that has no problem, the touch is the only one.

    Is it possible to create another CIFS share on the same destination and then create a one-time job that comes only backup a VM?  Then see if you still get the restore points damaged.
