Boot partition of windows 7 64 bit as RAW device in VMware workstation 7.1

My setup is a laptop to dualboot Lenovo W510 with Windows 7 64 bit on a 200Gig partition and Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze on partition of 100Gig. I've got workstation 7.1 installed on Linux and it works very well for virtual machines. The hard drive is a SATA.

I'm trying to start the 64-bit Windows 7 as RAW device partition. After different assignment on this forum as well as on the web, I had gathered that I needed to change the entries from scsi to ide in the .vmx and too hard. Even with these changes, I get a BSOD 7 b error when starting windows VM. Previously, I had been able to do it on a Lenovo T400, with exactly the same Setup to dual-boot.

I also read a KB that SATA is not supported as a CRUDE device. Linux guests see the SATA as SCSI device.

Anyone has the fresh ideas on this or have met and solved this problem?

I stick it on my site: http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html#patching

It shows how to configure the vmx file and how to fix the 7B...

Patching - easy Variant

This procedure is used when otherwise the VM would start in a kind of bluescreen 7B.

This means that VMware is the target and that you configure the computer virtual with VirtualHardware type 7.

It applies only if the virtual disk is configured like this

scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068".

scsi0:0. FileName = "imported.vmdk".

On the platform target start the virtual machine, newly created in the Windows 7 recovery CD.

After the initialization is complete, click CMD and run regedit.

Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.

Navigate to the Windows directory on the virtualdisk > system32\config and select the file SYSTEM.

When asked for a name enter p2v.

Then find the key

HKLM\p2v\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS

and the startup type of the REG_DWORD value 0

Select HKLM\p2v, and then click Menu > file > unload hive.

You can now close regedit and restart.

The next time you start, you can start in the 2008 R2 or Win7 system. He should find the drivers and probably need to reboot when finished.

  • 64-bit in ESXi running in Vmware Workstation machines

    Hi all

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 with an i7 processor.

  • Host Windows system restore back up virtual machines the VMWare Workstation?

    Is it save to perform a restore of the system on a Windows host running VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 with the premises of virtual machines? I just need confirmation that the VMs will be still functional after restoring the system.

    Welcome to the community,

    System Restore should not touch all personal documents, what configuration file and virtual disk are in reality. However, a restoration of the system can change the parameters of the application Windows for for example VMware Workstation. Anyway most that should happen is that you have to reinstall VMware Workstation in such a case.

    see "what files changed during a system restore?" at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq

    In any case, it is always useful to have a current backup!

  • I'm trying to re - install my for windows vista 32 bit synaptics pointing device, but my device manager does not display any device and keeps bring up the keyboard to the screen as how to fix this?

    I tried to install a driver for it but I find only 64 and 86 bit drivers. Sometimes my keyboard is not typing all letters I am getting tye (type) or like this for example. Someone at - it help me fix this please. I really want to get this computer working again.

    Your keyboard might not be hitting the correct letters (typing lertters numbers) because your shift caps lock is enabled (the led is green), to disable it on a portable computer, press on the 'fn + caps lk' keys at the same time, the green light should turn off.

    Your system is 32-bit if you need marked x 86 driver (it's actually 32-bit, there is no system of 86 bit).

    For you On - Screen Keyboard, check if it is automatically configured to start whenever you open a session:

    Go to the Control Panel, easy access, less "explore all settings', click on 'Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard', click on the box in front of"Use on-screen Keyboard"to uncheck if its active.

  • Try to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit

    I'm trying to re - install Windows 7 64 bit on my machine. I was installing my original XP you try to upgrade with the 7 discs.  For some reason any when I put in the disk of 64 bit I get an error message saying it is incompatible, which is strange, because this machine has been using 7 (64 bit) for about three years.
    When I run the Advisor tells me 'no problem '. I installed 32 bit without problem. Even after that, when I put 64-bit disk, I always get an error message. Damaged drive?

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • CentOS 6: / boot partition to small with Easy Install

    Hello

    I installed CentOS 6 64-bit in a version of VMware Workstation 7.14 - 385536 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. If you are using Easy Install it came with a partition/boot to ~ 48MB where are only 8.3 MB of free space. Therefore, an update of the kernel fails with the error: '[...] 19 MB required. "This happends with the default size of the drive of 20 GB and when I changed it to 40 GB.

    If I do not use Easy Install the partition/Boot has the size of 500 MB (size disc 20 and 40 GB), which would be more than enough. Another difference is the use of lvm (logical volume management) when I use the manual installation and the lack of it with Easy Install.

    Is it possible to change the partition scheme when you use Easy Install?

    Kind regards

    Andreas

    Easy install creates a custom Kickstart configuration file the autoinst.iso file created in the folder of in that the Virtual Machine is created and you must change the following setting in the KS. CFG file.

    part /boot --size 50
    

    Should extract the KS. The autoinst.iso file, change the setting and the injection of the edited KS, CFG folder. CFG file in file autoinst.iso before you begin the installation.  Or you are needs that this process can be script.

  • Compaq 615 laptop - Windows 7 32 bit.

    I would change from 32-bit to 64-bit.

    Can I have a new partition with Windows 7 64 bit and still keep my Windows 7 32 bit on the old partition and would there be conflict issues?  Also, how do you change between the two partitions after installation?  This would mean that I have three partitions - old partition recovery partition HP and the new partition.

    The reason for not doing a new installation, it is I want to keep my laptop with its support and programs intact.

    Best regards, Carpy.

    No, the product codes are specific to the version of bits. For example, a 32-bit key product can be used only on Windows 32-bit and 64-bit key can be used only on a 64-bit version of Windows.

  • Windows 7 64 bit with XP Mode

    Hello

    I installed a windows 7 64 bit on the 5 of VMWare ESXi server.

    Furthermore, I would also like to use windows XP mode. But every time that I run windows xp, the windows network connection mode 7 no longer works.

    I have to close the windows xp mode and use the wizard to repair the network card. Then it works again. But if I start then again windows xp mode, the problem reoccurs.

    If I try Nslookup, it is said that the standard server is unavailable...

    I don't know how the bridge Windows Virtual PC network is configured by default, but you may have to enable mode promiscuity on the ESXi vSwitch for Windows 7 client to make it work.  See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004099 for instructions on this operation.

  • USB foot pedal problem (Infinity IN-USB-2): recognized by Windows but does not work on VMware Workstation 10

    When I connect an Infinity IN-USB-2 pedal for my guest Windows 7 Professional (on Ubuntu 14.04 and VMware Workstation 10.0.2), the pedal gets recognized by Windows and different applications, but by pressing the pedal itself has no effect.

    I downloaded a USB foot pedal Tester (http://vec-infinity-in-usb-1-foot-pedal-tester.soft112.com/) on the client and he acknowledged that the device is connected, but when I pressed on any of the three pedals, the tester has not detected the presses.

    I tried the pedal on a real Windows computer, and it worked fine.

    When I connect the pedals, even with the guest in the foreground, VMware Workstation will appear a dialog box:

    The specified device is claimed by another (usbhid) driver on the host operating system. The device can be used. To continue, the appliance will be first disconnected from its current driver. [Cancel] [OK]

    When I click 'OK', we state above: Windows recognizes that the device is connected, but foot-presses are not detected. My other USB devices are not pop this dialog box. (Click Cancel maintains the device disconnected from the guest.) I don't know if the dialog box is significant or a red herring.

    Here's what/var/log/syslog says when I connect the pedal with the Windows client in the foreground:

    kernel: [281434.822751] usb 2 - 1.7: new low speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

    kernel: [281434.920667] usb 2 - 1.7: new USB key found, idVendor is 05f3, idProduct = 00ff

    PSG-probe: bus: 2, device: 28 is not a MTP device

    And when I click on "OK" to the dialog, he said:

    kernel: [281480.900448] usb 2 - 1.7: reset low speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

    When I unplug the device, it is said:

    kernel: [281517.582472] usb 2 - 1.7: unplug USB, the device number 28

    Thanks for the ideas on solving this problem.

    Answering my own question: I spoke with a salesman who told this pedal does not work on virtual machines for the following reason:

    These pedals are all just Universal USB controllers that require programs or applications to be able to see and recognize them for use. Because they are installed by the base of Windows and Generic USB devices drivers, they can not be seen my remote computers via USB sharing etc.

    They recommended using a hotkey program to work around the problem. I have not tried this solution, but bought a different pedal that works out of the box with VM: a vP-1 vPedal. Lower build quality than infinity (in my opinion) but it works perfectly.

    This is the idea of the key of the seller:

    I have a solution that will allow you to use the pedal as expected if the remote program who need to use supports the use of shortcut keys. For example, these pedals are commonly used with NCH Software Express Scribe professional software. This software can use either a pedal, or you can assign the playback functions to access keys. In the scenario you are talking you re Express Scribe on the remote computer to use keyboard shortcuts, you then install Pedalware (http://www.altoedge.com/pedalware/index.html), a free Windows only the foot pedal utility made by NCH Software, you then use the Pedalware utility to assign the buttons on the pedal of a keyboard shortcut that coincides with those remote program.
