Could not start VM after P2V of Windows XP in ESXi 4 using vConverter Stand Alone 4

Hi all

I have a problem in the conversion of my office in a Virtual Machine on ESXi 4.

It's a HP dx 7400 SFF what Daddy got IDE-SATA II hard drive, I ran successfully the process of convert in batches in vConverter with everything left by default, the problem began to rise when the hard disk of the virtual machine is not recognizeddue to the used controller is IDE instead of SCSI using LSI Logic SAS or in parallel.

is it possible to convert your desktop Windows XP Pro 32-bit in a virtual machine please?

Thank you.

Kind regards

AWT

In fact, I just got to work. Works well just using hardware version 7. I had initially left the setting to "Preserve the Source" of the hard disk controller. This should be changed to SCSI when converting to an XP machine to a virtual machine on an ESX4 host.

  • WAG300N: could not start correctly after power failure

    Hello

    After AC power interruption, I tried to turn on my router Linksys WAG300N, but he won't start properly. I will describe what it looks like and what I've tried:

    I push the power button / stop, all 4 Ethernet LED simultaneous light for about a second, (if there is LAN cable connected, one or more led lights permanently) and power the LED will blink twice at normal speed. After that, both voltage and wireless, led simultaneously for about 1-2 seconds, start power LED flashes quickly, after seconds wireless LED stop light, wireless flash LED again and stop two LEDs for lighting. Second later power LED flashes two times normal speed and the process begins again but without flashing of the LED Ethernet (loop).

    I tried to download the firmware using TFTP, but it does not work. Router did not respond to a ping. After many tests, I noticed that the only time where I can ping router is during normal those two blinks of the power led. I've got 11 times waiting and the response of 1 or 2<1ms, 11="" timeouts,="" 1="" -="" 2="" responses etc... (response="" waiting="" time="" for="" a="" ping="">

    I've tried a few ways to reset the router (based on this forum). It does not help, sometimes after the reset I power the router problems or flashing process stops after a few loops (only one Ethernet LED lightning or router turns off). At the end of a day all supports them to the previous behavior of closure with power LED and wireless LED blinking.

    In the end, I tried utility upgrade Sercomm 2.07 mentioned in this topic: http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=DSL&thread.id=52

    This software detects only router after reset, when the router is in unknown mode, Internet and power LED flashes alternately.

    Software detects the device as MAC address and visualize correctly the version of firmware loaded into memory. Looks like it works and flashing memory. While flashing memory, power LED, LED Internet and Ethernet LED flashing at the same time very fast. I tried all versions of firmware available, but it does not help, I still have the same behave after flash.

    I think it could be a problem with the bootloader, maybe that part of the memory is broken, but I did not how to fix it. I found information on the JTAG interface, but I don't know if it will work for router WAG300N and where I can find the appropriate file with bootloader.

    Maybe someone can help and give me the idea what should I / check. Theoretically, I should have left 1 year warranty, but I lost the proof of purchase required for the RMA process. I can't find the place in Poland where professionals can help me, so I think that should do it myself with your help

    I think that's the problem with the power adapter... You should try a different power of the specification of the same card...

  • Help! VM does not start successfully after the conversion of Server VMware ESXi 4.1

    Hi, I have install my first server ESXi, everything seems OK and stable. Had a few PtoV machines, but to start I thought I propose our only current VM from VMWare server on our ESXi server.

    The VMware host is Win2003/32 running VMware server 1.0.6 and the prompt is also Win2003/32. I shut down the VM, installed the stand-alone converter on the VMware host and let it do it's thing. Successfully completed and took 20 minutes.

    When I try to start the virtual machine of the ESXi server, it looks OK, but hangs on "Application Startup Scripts", possibly the login screen appears, but then I get messages from "Remote RPC server not available" when you try to open an RDP session. A local login hangs right on the application of personal settings.

    Network everything seems fine, can ping the VM, etc.

    May not work on why the virtual machine should start any differently? Any ideas, anyone please. I am new to ESXi and migrate the virtual computer, but have used VMware Server a lot in the past.

    All advice appreciated...!

    That's good news.

    Which explains, normally, you must do the VMTools upgrade, then the virtual machine hardware, so if the converter upgrades the equipment, the order is bad. Of course, it is recommended to upgrade the hardware to ver 7. So now that it works you can improve the tools and then the vHardware. It might be interesting, if you have enough resources on the ESXi host, make a clone to the virtual machine and the test on the clone in a State (disconnect vNIC) offline.

  • Want H8-1534: could not start HP Envy H8-1534 pc after Windows update 10, 1607

    Windows 10 has made automatically update 1607 (KB3176936) on the pc of my wife (HP Envy H8-1534) about 6 days ago. Since then I could not start the pc the first time I turn it on.

    When I hit the power button on the monitor lights up with the HP logo on black screen as usual but the loading icon (spinning points) does not start. Fans start, but there is no activity on the Tower in the way of flashing lights or beep sounds. If I turned off the pc by using the power button, wait 10 seconds and turn on again, the pc will start up as normal. So far, for the last 6 days, it took the 2nd attempt so that it starts the pc every time. It almost seems as if there are not able to go to the system except for the fans in this first attempt to start.

    I ran a test at startup by pressing the F2 key without no problems found. I disabled the SATA power management in the BIOS. I ran the Windows startup with no result repair. Here are the results of the txt file.

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  • Could not start the Windows Vista firewall

    Hi all

    I can't start the Windows Firewall service in anyway.

    I can't open it via Control Panel, as it is said simply: "the Windows Firewall settings cannot poster because the asscioated service is not running. You want to start the Windows Firewall service? »
    I click "Yes", then he said: 'Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service. There is no error code indicated.
    I tried running "wf.msc" using the Microsoft Management Console. When this window appears, he says: "there was an error opening the Windows Firewall with advanced snap-in security.; The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap could not load. Restart the Windows Firewall service on the computer that you are managing. "Error code: 0x6D9.
    As it seems, I can not start it this way or the other.
    I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click on the Services tab, then click services on the bottom, and this opens the Services window.
    In the new Services window, I try to start the service "Windows Firewall". I get a message saying: "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall service on the Local computer.; Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. »
    Therefore, it does not. The service is set to automatic.
    I found another process called 'Base filtering engine', which I discovered is related to the use of the Windows Firewall service. Then, that I try to start this service, and he said: "Windows has no start the engine service of filtering based on Local computer." Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. »
    Still, I can't find a way to fix the problem. In addition, the service is set to automatic.
    So if someone could help me, give me ideas or tell me how to solve the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    P. S. sometimes, when I type things in the command prompt, I get a message saying that "the requested operation requires a rise." What it means
    ?
    EDIT:
    The base filtering engine
    IKE and AuthIPsec Keying Modules
    Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
    IPsec policy agent
    Routing and remote access
    Windows event collector
    Windows Firewall
    All of these services don't work, with each saying "Windows did not start the * service * service on Local computer.; Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start. ", with the exception of the Base Filtering Engine service.
    EDIT:
    I believe that the motor of filter of Bae is the root cause of the problem, because when I try to start it, it says "Windows cannot start the engine service of filtering based on Local computer. Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. ", so that all the other programs on this service, said depedent" Windows did not start the * service * service on Local computer.

Explicit instructions on the installation procedure and where to get this program, is here: "http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/86959-access-vista-install-dvd-files.html". Once you have the file mounted, just search the area mounted for "secdrv.sys", then copy and paste it in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers" or that where the drivers from your system. After that, restart and the BFE service and all of its dependencies should work properly. Thanks for the good help like SpiritX.

  • Windows Vista: windows could not start error. is suspended from the "Microsoft Corporation" loading bar then black screen BIOS not acpi compliant

    After you have installed the driver for the zune hd, I was asked to restart my computer. After the reboot, start froze on a white screen. I've seen this before and it is usually because of some connected usb components. so I manually powered down the Tower, disconnected the cable from zune and restarted. This time a screen saying that windows could not start, "launch Startup Repair tool" was recommended. Select this habit makes the startup hang to the progress bar from Microsoft corporation, then to a completely white screen. Although strangely, once only a blue error screen appears which says that the BIOS is not acpi compatible. I can't restart with F8 to go into safe mode, "windows error recovery" still appears. "Start windows normally"produces the same results as the tool to restart launch system. " I have a drive to upgrade to windows 7 and a windows XP upgrade disk. the disc of windows 7 hangs at "starting windows" and the XP disc gives a blue screen error: stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0c 0000034, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000)

    I think I have a BIOS problem, but I don't know how I could continue dealing with the repair. I have no success update the bios from usb flash. Any idea is appreciated.
    Update: managed to start with F8, choose to boot in safe mode and loading hangs after "load: \windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys"***.
    the machine is a gateway LX6810-01 (friend motherboard)

    Hello

    1. What is the exact error message when Windows Vista does not start?

    2. you have the disk Installation of Windows Vista operating system?

    I suggest you change the mode of RAMA to IDE in the BIOS. You can contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

    Note: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    In addition, perform a check disk in Windows Recovery Mode.

    (a) Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD".

    (c) select a language, an hour and the currencyand a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    (d) click on check drive for errors.

    (e) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, select the drive of your Windows installation and click Next

    (f) to the System Recovery Options dialog box, click on check Drive for errors.

    (g) use the switch/r to run the disk check.

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

     

    It will be useful.
