Cannot start Windows 7 after the conversion of the physical machine

Hello

I converted my windows 7 64 bit running physical machine to the virtual machine using converter 5.0. I am running VMWare Workstation 8.0. My physical machine hid the 100 MB boot partition and 90 GB main partition. During the conversion, I don't have an option to select a hidden partition, nor did I want in my virtual machine. Conversion failed with the following message (planned):

Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

Then, I started the virtual machine using the Windows DVD and selected the option "repair". Once I arrived, I used diskpart to make my active primary partition and then followed the steps in this KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1037507 to fix everything including BCD. Once this was done, I used converted to reconfigure the virtual computer, and this time he succeeded. Everything was good and as expected up to that point. Now, when I start the VM, I get by BIOS init and then I get a black screen - no messages at all and he vm it is here without doing anything. I tried to fix it again and everything seems good (checked all the information using diskpart, bootrec and bcdedit so that automated repair) - everything seems to be in order, but the black screen is all I see when I try to start.

Any help to guide me to this point is very popular figure.

Thank you

Andrey

Disk2vhd create a vhd file
Starwinds V2V converter converts the virtual hard disk into a vmdk
This vmdk is assigned to a new virtual machine
first boot the virtual machine goes into a Windows 7 drivers restore CD you patch

  • Compaq Presario SR5130NX: Cannot start Windows Vista after failure - HELP!

    Hello! My building has undergone a complete failure so 4 days ago I used it. Power resumed 3 hours later, but I was not able to log on since.





    Normally, I turn on my PC, and about 30 seconds later, a window pops up asking you my password. After entering it, the PC come by my office. Now, when I turn on the PC, it brings me to a blue screen with a mouse cursor in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    When I press F8 during the boot process and choose an option from the window "Advanced Boot Options", I still can't start my computer normally.





    Here's the "Advanced Boot Options" I tried, after consultation with my brother a little more PC-savvy:





    1 repair your computer - after I see my black screen that is usual with the words "Microsoft Corporation" under the green bars that scroll from left to right for about 15 seconds, a blue screen appears with the mouse pointer in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    2 mode safe - while the PC display several files on start up and down, it stops on "Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys" for about 20 seconds, then proceeds to a black screen with the words "Safe Mode" in the 4 corners and the mouse cursor at the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    3 safe mode with network - see "Safe Mode" above.





    4 safe mode with command prompt - see 'Safe Mode' above.





    5 last known good Configuration (Advanced) - see "repair your computer" above.





    6 start Windows normally - see "Repair your computer" above.





    7 debug mode - see "Repair your computer" above.





    I downloaded a DVD recovery based on Linux in knopper.net, allowing me to access important files, which I copied from the desktop to an external hard drive (4.1 GB iso file).





    PC Windows XP of my brother has a recovery disk, but my Windows Vista PC did not come with one. I've seen a few paid versions, but looked resources due to cool weather and free shipping.





    I can't tell if I have the 23-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows Vista, so I downloaded both versions of an open source sourceforge.NET startup repair, which I burned on 2 DVDs. After you run the startup repair program using two DVD, the diagnostic results have been uploaded online at ubuntu.com for review and technical analysis. Here are the links:





    http://Paste.Ubuntu.com/16018001/

    http://Paste.Ubuntu.com/16019372/

    http://Paste.Ubuntu.com/16040380/





    The last report ended with the words "start managed to fix...".  You can now restart your computer. "But I always encounter a blank screen (black or blue) when I try to log on to my PC.





    Here are my details of PC, if it is useful:





    Desktop Compaq Presario SR5130NX

    Serial number: [personal information]

    Product number: GC667AA

    Warranty end date: October 5, 2013 (according to Compaq/HP.com)

    Hello

    Since you already have KNOPPIX I try Gparted and use it to 'clean up' the score because it will stop in an impure State.

    NTFS

    [1][11]NTFS-3 g / important

    GParted will try.

    Also, I would consider the old problem with fat systems, floppy disks etc. which sometimes a copy of sys files from a floppy disk to a hard drive has reactivated a bootable system.

    So, if system files have been damaged, then replace them since a Setup disk.  Because he goes to options, what kind of work.

    I installed win 8 January last on a xp pro machine, which was in surplus. I uninstalled the victory 8 and now impossible to reinstall win xp pro

  • Cannot install Windows XP after the purchase of disk

    I put the disk for Windows xp, but cannot be installed

    You should really start a new thread on this question of yours.  I'll send a message to the moderator to separate this question from this old thread and create a new one for you.

    In any case, if you have installed vista, xp will not be able to install automatically. It's because you try to downgrade your computer.

    However, if the computer already had xp on the computer, and then you could upgrade to vista automatically.

    You'd have to do is to format the hard disk in the first place, until xp can be reinstalled.

    But there may be another problem for you at this time.

    You see, if you have a computer that has been designed to use vista then xp is maybe not able to work on this computer.   You will have to go place of origin of the computer and see if your machine has hardware drivers that can be used by xp.  In others, you should check if there are drivers xp for your computer model.

    If this is not the case, then it means that your computer cannot start xp, even if you reformat the hard drive and install a new copy of xp on it.

    What is the brand and model of your computer?

  • G560 cannot start Windows 7 after onekey recovery

    I got the Lenovo G 560 0679 (2.54 Ghz, 4 GB Ram, DVD, Win 7 64 bit) * do not know the full product code * and created recovery disks. During the process, the system wanted 3 disks. After the second disc, the recovery disks have already been created. It was a little suspect. I tried the recovery disks. Then I have to restart the system. If I start it says that windows could not be started due to a change in hardware or software.

    I will go into an installation disc that has not been included in the box.

    Well below I got the offer to choose between

    Start windows normally

    use the last working configuration

    saving mode

    Save the network mode

    Save the mode prompt

    I also tried to install a Win 7 Home 64 bit edition on the main partition. Subsequently, I installed onekey recovery and tried to restore with the partition of lenovo. It did not work either.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks for you advice.

If you don't back up your data and you lose, it's your fault.

  • Cannot start windows more after Microsoft Update

    I have XP.  Once Microsoft installed a auto update July 16, I could no longer open Windows normally.  What did do? That's happened?  How can I return to my computer if can't open?  It seems that the computer doesn't send any signal to the video monitor so I can't enter all orders. Finally, I learned that I can open in Mode safe mode but not in normal mode... But I need a normal mode to access everything.

    Of "automatic update" are what kind you referring?  As you have acknowledged, XP should not be getting updates.  I also asked if you have an installation disc, and you did not.
