Can't boot CD in the EFI firmware?

• How can I create a simple VM using the EFI firmware?

  I created a VM with OS 'Another 64 - bit' and edited the .vmx file, change only the "bios" = firmware firmware = "efi".

  Whenever I start the virtual machine, it uses the BIOS instead of the EFI. I can see when to start directly to the firmware, or by starting with a 8.1 Windows Installer disk and installing Windows checking connects immediately after that it started ("" detected boot environment: legacy ' ").

  How create/configure a virtual machine to use systematically the EFI, without her 'crush' or 'back' to my configuration?

  I use VMware Fusion 7.1.0 (2314774).

  Hi michielvoo

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  I wrote an article on the use of EFI in a machine virtual here: Boot via the EFI firmware | PlanetVM

  Basically, what you're doing are correct. The part, I wonder about is if the double quote characters you use double quotes a normal and not the "fantasies" (as you can see in the above article, these are those fancy)

  It takes standard double quotes on your keyboard.

  Another possible reason to make it work is not is if you edit the vmx while your merger still works as he could return your changes to protect the virtual machine.

  If you don't know everything that's wrong with your vmx file, then send the vmware.log file is also in this folder to an answer here and I or someone else will take a look and see if everything's okay what is wrong.

• The destination does not support the EFI firmware.

  Hello

  I have a Debian Linux 7.0 physics I'm P2V using converter 5.5.3.  When I choose my target ESXi server, I like:

  The destination does not support the EFI firmware.

  How confirm/deny, or enable the EFI on my node ESXi support?

  Hello

  This may be a false signal. The problem is that Debian is not a taken GOS supported for the converter. That's why he treats her like "Other Linux" and then the ESXi responds that it does not support the "other Linux" on EFI.

  Unfortunately I see no significant workaround solution. There is a crazy idea - converter checks if the source computer's BIOS or EFI by searching the directory/sys/firmware/efi/vars. If you can somehow it wrong that there is no (I don't know how), it might treat the source such as BIOS and convert it. When this happens, you should then change the VM of destination to EFI firmware and manually create the EFI boot entry somehow.

• I can't boot after installing the latest win xp updated system - missing or damaged/system32 hal.dll

  I have win xp and that you have installed the latest updates 7 system - now I can't start.

  I get the message:

  Windows didn't start because what follows is missing or corrupted /system32/hal.dll

  I don't have a CD system - which can do? everything I read said to alter, copy, etc., but since I cannot start, I can't do it all.

  Help me please, thanks

  XP trying to tell you that it cannot find the file.  It is extremely likely that the hal.dll file is really missing or damaged (XP just cannot find it).

  You should not have the Windows XP installation CD for this problem.

  It is very unlikely that the manufacturer will be able to you provide a XP installation CD, but contact them if you wish.

  What would you do if YOU were the manufacturer?  Communicate with yourself?

  The instructions in this link to replace the hal.dll file are bad, bad, bad.  If you follow them, you will need to replace the hal.dll file, but it will not be the correct hal.dll file.  There are 7 possible hal.dlls on the Windows XP CD, and check out the generic hal.dll file won't be one you need unless you run a virtual machine.  Clearly, the technical support engineers have never actually solved this problem.

  Notice that the thread is not marked as 'response' by the original poster, but by a moderator of the Forum after a period of 5 to 10 days of inactivity where some MSE posted a link to a few articles in the KB (this is how things work here).

  You should start by making a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r first just to be sure of the file system NTFS is not damaged.  Then see if you can start after that (maybe it won't).

  THEN, you must use the Recovery Console to rebuild your boot.ini file.  I would like to rename the file c:\boot.ini first then you don't rebuild on top of the afflicted (this part is missing from the article).

  I can't understand why Microsoft support engineers seem unable to display instructions to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton and Spybot.
  AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Here's how to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console:

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  If you still have the same problem (likely), then the value rebuild your file c:\boot.ini as article says here:

• Windows 10 can not boot after installing the Bootcamp drivers

  I have an iMac late 2013 (21.5 "), and I just got 10 Windows so that I can install it using bootcamp. I spent a good part of two days trying to get Windows to work with installing bootcamp, but no matter what I do, the result is always the same. If I let bootcamp install its driver (as he wants when you start first in 10 Windows after installation), Windows will crash before loading fully at the next startup. He comes to see the windows logo pop up with the loading circle spinning around for a second, until what the circle all the sudden stops. After that, it restarts and I hear the iMac from sounds (this much quieter time for some reason any) and then it does the same thing. The third time that it restarts, it starts the automatic recovery mode and I get caught for the advanced boot menu. After letting Windows reinstall itself, it works fine except that it lacks some of the display driver (I can't adjust the brightness) and I also can not use the function keys on my apple keyboard, or the magic mouse at all.

  I tried to reinstall OS X El Capitan and then repeat the installation for Windows. I tried with the driver OS X Downloads for me in Bootcamp (version 6.0), and I've also tried using those newer that Apple offers for download on their site (Version 5.1.5769). All attempts of the result of facilities Bootcamp in crash of boot even when Windows is restarted.

  Windows is still usable, I just think it would work as it is supposed for a Mac wish. Why the bootcamp drivers break 10 windows? Has anyone else had a similar problem? If so, any suggestions?

  Thank you

• VMWare Workstation EFI firmware

  Hi all!

  I worked with firmware UEFI of VmWare Workstation and debugger GDB IDA heel. I recently did an analysis of Windows 8 UEFI (available here: http://www.itsec.it/2012/09/18/uefi-technology-say-hello-to-the-windows-8-bootkit/).

  Now, I want to open an investigation into Secureboot. I can only use a physical machine (ASUS). I was wondering if anyone knows how to insert Secureboot module (module SecurityPkg in the EDK 2.3.1 specs) in the VmWare EFI firmware...

  I always tried to compile UEDK 2010 "firmware.fv" and import it into a file descriptor "vmx" adding the following lines:

  Firmware = "efi".
  efi64. FileName = "myEfiFv.rom".

  .. .but the virtual machine does not start. I figured out that VMWare image of uefi firmware is different from the standard (the 2 files being compared is equal to only in the structure of EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_HEADER).

  Some of you know how to change the EFI firmware in order to support Mrs SecureBoot?

  Thank you very much in advance...

  Kind regards

  Andrea

  Hello Andrea,

  You always take the party projects!

  There is no currently released VMware products that support for Secure Boot UEFI.  We do not include SecurityPkg, and our implementation of Services Variable takes charge neither EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS nor EFI_VARIABLE_TIME_BASED_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS.  Our release plans are confidential, so I can't tell when you will see a version that does not include support for Secure Boot.

  It will be a huge task if you want to build your own firmware EFI [U] run in a VMware virtual machine: Our EFI ROM images contain an amount of platform-specific code that is not included in the CDIP/UDK accessible you need to reproduce in order to have Roma who started all the basis of VMware codes.

  Sorry, it does not help much with your project.

  See you soon,.

• I have updated to the new firmware, cannot connect to WVC54GC

  Hello

  I update my WVC54GC (V1.1) with the latest firmware from the site (ver 1.26), when the update is complete, blue Led restart, I stoked market once again, but I can't connect to the camera, I have reset, same problem, the led flashes blue awhile then drove on continious, I try to connect with the software (search for camera) and with the browser to the default IP address : 192.168.1.115, nothing...

  Maybe something wrong during the download of the firmware.

  How can I go back to the old firmware? is that their another method for hard reset it (other then on the reset button on the side)

  Thank you to for your advice.

  I solve this problem (after reset the cam for 30 seconds), all settings became as default, including the IP address are set to: 192.168.1.115

  I connect to my PC directly via the cable to the cam, so I changed the configuration of the network card in my PC to:

  IP: 192.168.1.5

  Mask: 255.255.255.0

  Gateway: 192.168.1.115 (this is the IP of the Cam)

  By this solution, I was connected directly to the cam, and I've reconfigured the settings; WiFi, new Ip,... then when I restarded the Cam; all future returned and the cam worked as before (I have not find otherwise with the latest firmware date V1.26 Feb 2008, I had before V1.21 date 2006).

  The funniest thing I bought the cable connection (reverse connection) Ethernet, and when I finished the configuration of the cam, I tried the standard cable (straight): this work is too, so you can use the standard Cam ethernet cable.

• New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. How do I creat more than I can duel boot

  New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. They are system, OS (C drive), recovery and HP tools > how do I create a new partition so that I can duel boot withour causing the entire disk pass the dynamic that would get me no where?

  If you change something, it may invalidate your warranty. If you need to return your laptop to HP, they will just wipe the drive and start over, no questions asked.

  You must remove the HP tools or the recovery partition. I think that removing the partition on an HP tools automatically goes to sleep you out of the recovery partition.

  If you delete the recovery partition, you must make sure that you have done the set HP recovery disk and it is on quality discs and safely set aside.

  If you are planning on dual booting with different versions of Windows, make sure that Windows utility block each other. For example, don't let Windows defrag loose on the other OS partition.

• To the question of the EFI BIOS

  I created a windows 8.1 comments in 10 workstation. I want to copy this on my 5.5 ESXi host and start as EFI. Is this possible?

  Hi resources genetic organization!

  It sounds like your guest OS installation has been done with the BIOS.  It is generally not possible to change the type of firmware after an operating system is installed.

  Operating system setup uses the type of firmware to choose a plan (MBR for BIOS) or GPT for EFI disk partitioning and install a bootloader for firmware (code 16-bit MBR/VBR and a bootloader for BIOS, a bootloader EFI architecture in the EFI for EFI System Partition).  Types of switching software will usually make the operating system unbootable until it is reinstalled with the appropriate firmware type.  I have not tried it myself, but I doubt that any repair the startup or recovery option would be able to correct the situation after a firmware change.

  It should be noted that 10 Workstation does not officially support the EFI firmware, but it would be possible to use the EFI firmware (just add firmware = "efi" configuration of the VM before it turn) to perform the initial installation of the operating system on 10 Workstation, then you should be able to transfer it to ESXi by following the instructions provided by the AFA above.

  See you soon,.

• Portege M200 - the keyboard does not work and I can't boot from CD/DVD

  Hello

  I recently tried to install VM Player on my Toshiba M200. When I restarted my computer, I found that my network connections did not work. I tried to uninstall the reader of the VM, but it failed to halfway. As the program has created a number of virtual network connections which I couldn't remove, I went into the registry and remove the 20 entries or while I thought when linked.

  I rebooted and found my keyboard HID devices and Wireless does not. So I started using the ketyboard softward to try to resolve the problem. I was able to reboot and login using the software keyboard until I did a restore to the last parameter of normal startup. How, rather than get my login window, I get a message asking me to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete. When I do using the software keyboard I get another window saying due to security, I have to press key instead of Ctrl-Alt-Delete Windows security. When I press the button on the key of Windows security on the lower side right of the screen, nothing happens.

  What I can do. I have also tried to attach a USB CD drive (Philips) but can't get the laptop to boot from it. I get an error message (so I had to research readers of CD boot) saying the laptop can not find the drive. The CD comes on during startup, but only for a second.

  I'm desperate so please let me know what options I have or what I can do about it. The physical keyboard works during startup until the first Windows startup screen appears. No NumLock or such work at the time when I get to the login screen.

  Thanks in advance for one advise you can provide.

  Hello

  A long history on your question... I think the reason for this is why you deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the registry of Windows, you really know what you're doing. You may damage the entire Windows system!
  So I think that's the reason why the keyboard doesn t more.

  In the manual, I founded the CD-ROM boot option is available with the optical disk option.
  So for me it sounds like that your CD USB drive is not compatible with the laptop

• Where can I get the latest Firmware UJ - 822S for Portege S100?

  I'm looking for the latest firmware for this drive. The drive came with the Portege, and I know that they are specific OEM. There are later versions of the firmware available on other sites of manufacturers, but these will be simply screwed to the drive. I'M NOT AFTER RPC-1 firmware, just the last available if possible.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  Is there a special reason why you want to install new firmware, maybe some problems burning?

  I put t know where you can find the latest firmware for this phone, but if you Google a bit you will find many forums, such as http://forum.rpc1.org/.

  You will find useful information and comments about the firmware and the results. I just want to say that you should be careful about this. I put t know how old your unit and if the warranty is still valid, but please note that, after the installation of the firmware non-Toshiba, warranty for ODD will be lost. In the case of the STRANGE is defective it is not replaced.

• Can not boot from the CD to recover OS - Portege M200

  Hello

  I'm working on my Portege M200 friends that she bought used. Only, it came with an external USB CDROM drive and the laptop computer AC adapter. To make things better the HD is no longer recognized by the BIOS. I had a spare HD so I installed it and now the BIOS see the new HD, Yay!

  I also discovered that I could buy a replacement Toshiba system recovery CD, new Yay! But before I do that I wanted to make sure I could boot from the external CDROM drive. I plugged the CDROM drive and attempted to start on a spare windows xp CD. But it does not start on the CD. I made sure that the CD-rom drive has been first in the BIOS boot priority, but that doesn't seem to work.

  I read the other posts that mention the boot directly from the external CD-rom USB drive does not work and I have to boot to the CD-rom drive by plugging the CD-rom drive in a PCMCIA card. If I have to buy a PCMCIA card that has USB ports for connecting external USB CDROM drive in for I can boot from a CD?

  If there will be any brand/type of work? If this is not the case, what brand/type is known to work.
  Any advise will be greatly appreciated!
