Error loading operating system on the virtual machine

Recently, I used VMWare Converter Standalone Client 4.01 to p2v my own Windows XP SP3 machine and import it in our server ESXi 4.0.  The conversion completes without error, but when I try to start the virtual machine, it says "error loading operating system."

This is the first time I used the converter, so all advice here?

Thank you, Jay

Use of the disk set.

Also remember to change the IDE disk, SCSI, I don't remember where that is option but I've seen causing him problems with p2v migration.

  • Error loading operating system message is displayed after the partial installation of Windows XP

    Hello all, I was doing a clean install of Windows XP from the CD on my desktop PC.  I had reached the point where I had deleted the existing system partition and created a new system partition and had begun to load data from system to system on the CD when I accidentally stop the surge protector, shutting off the power to the computer, the screen of the monitor, etc.  After that I restored power, I turned on the PC without the XP installation CD in the CD/DVD drive.  The system posted successfully and start the CD line appeared IMMEDIATELY followed by the message "error loading operating system" on a new line.  I tried to start with the installation of XP in the drive disc, as well as with the "Ultimate Boot CD" in the player - the "Error loading operating system" message appeared in both cases.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    The desktop PC has had a full legal work Windows XP with SP3, but I chose to reinstall from scratch, because I had problems with corrupted data in the Zone Alarm and card ATI graphics card software that caused random outages, lead to situations of re - start.  I couldn't fix the files for these 2 applications that I had this desktop PC in stock for more than 18 months and I couldn't remember the administrator password I had used.

    Once more, these error messages tell me you dΘmarrez the hard disk and no CD-ROM drive.  The message "NTLDR is missing" is read the boot sector, on most of the installations of Windows, the boot sector is usually the absolute sector 63 on the disc, using DiskProbe you will see the text of the message to the given sector.

    Your drive is perhaps at fault... or it may be absolutely nothing wrong with it!  You may need to press a key to boot from the CD, often you see a message like «Press any key to boot from CD...» "or some thing in this sense, maybe you're not a touch and the BIOS ignores the boot from CD-ROM and goes to the next boot device (hard drive).

  • During the Windows installation, I received the following message: Boot Record from CDROM tree research... OK press a key to boot from CD... Error loading operating system

    What is the cause of this error message

    during the installation of the operating system on a single computer, I met the following error message
    "The research tree Boot Record from CDROM... Ok
    Press any key to boot from CD... Error loading operating system"
    What are the causes of this error?

    Hi DavidMuya,

    To stop this message from appearing, follow these steps:

    (a) remove any CD from the drive before you turn on or restart the computer.

    (b) enter the BIOS and change the boot hard drive sequence instead. You will need to change if you plan to boot from a CD in the future.

    Note: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious 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.

  • Error loading operating system after shutting down the computer because of the high operating temperature

    I decided to re - install Windows XP Pro x 86 on my wife's computer. So I went into the BIOS to make sure that the CD/DVD drive has been configured to start first, and then I inserted the DVD and then restarted the computer.

    Now, the XP disc started normally. I installed XP to the point where I deleted all previous partitions and then created a new. Windows then displays the warning that the computer would not be able to boot up to what XP finished installing. I guess that's because start-up files have been deleted when I deleted all previous partitions during the installation.

    Right after I clicked on enter the warning message, the computer shuts down. No! So, I try to re-boot, in the hope of all simply continue with installing XP, but instead, the computer will display a message indicating that the computer has been stopped because of the high operating temperature. I then go ahead and get a message saying: "Error loading operating system."

    No matter what I do, I can't go any further. I can't get into BIOS or anything. If I try the F10 key (or whatever the keys are), I get a beep. It does not properly respond to my entries.

    I don't think that the high temperature operation destroyed all components. The computer stopped several times in the past. Furthermore, it would not be part of integrated security if Microsoft enabled the computer reach a destructive temperature before stopping. I think that the problem occurred during installation was interrupted just after that previous partitions have been deleted.

    BT, I don't know what to do now. Loooking for suggestions.

  • Error loading operating system after chkdsk

    Hello

    When I browse the data store, I don't see that 2 of the 35 and 209 GB vmdk files.  Server has 3 disks should have 3 files vmdk?

    Any suggestions on how to get my VM operational return.  I don't have a recent copy of Snap shot.

    Thank you!

    When I browse the data store, I don't see that 2 of the 35 and 209 GB vmdk files.  Server has 3 disks should have 3 files vmdk?

    There should be three files VMDK... somewhere. They are not needed must be in the same place or a data store. Use the vSphere Client to open the properties of the virtual machine, and then select the hard drive, and on the right under 'Disk file' it will show the data store and the path for the VMDK... for example ' \[somedatastore\] some/disk.vmdk.

    Any suggestions on how to get my VM operational return.  I don't have a recent copy of Snap shot.

    For Windows, you can try a repair of the OS installation.

  • Error loading operating system in Windows XP

    My machine was working fine and then restarts, showed the message "error loading operating system" and does not start.  Any suggestions on the best way to recover? I have not tried anything that either still, wanted to determine the best approach to avoid damaging the data that can be retrieved.  The machine was loaded with XP SP3 and all the Microsoft updates current.  The XP OS disk I have is very old, pre-SP1, so when I had to build my mmachine in the past, I had to go through the process of loading all the service packs and updates.  You do not know if using this CD of OS in an attempt to repair the operating system on the hard drive will do more damage than good.  Suggestions anyone?

  • error msg "error loading operating system"

    Then I hit the button on my laptop today and almost immediately get a mag of error telling me "error loading operating system" and nothing else happens... What can I do to fix this? Beloved I want before all else you can prosper and be in health, so even as your soul prospers

    If you had clicked on the link on how to do a startup repair, you would have seen that it is not Windows. This Web page to photos. You need boot from the Vista installation DVD. If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    It's the same situation with the hard drive test. If you had clicked on the link I gave you, you would have seen the instructions on downloading the file and create a bootable CD.

    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Or if this does not work for you, and you need more help about installation, after back - after having read the links. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hello

    I can't say with certainty what may be the problem but maybe HDD (hard drive) is a troublemaker.

    Start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings. Check if the HARD drive is recognized and registered properly on the page. Load the settings by default using F10, then restart your laptop.

    The same thing happens again?

  • Error loading operating system - version of WHS disks

    I have an old MSI k9 & AMD x 2 4600 + Im running WHS v1 (but I don't think it's a problem WHS).

    Moments ago, the server crashed (bad discs).  First, the configuration of this system has always had a problem starting from cd/dvd player and always been specific as to which SATA connection is used to start a disk of. In the past, I had to build a system disk / boot on another pc then it switch.

    I did now, twice. The reconstruction on the main PC went without a hitch. The new boot disks joyfully on the main PC. I transferred the drive (s) in the server box, and I get the error "error loading operating system".

    I tried to connect to all of the SATA ports in turn, with different cables, including one that was on the other PC. I removed all other players to avoid confusion.  Software diagnostic WD gives readers a certificate of good health.  BIOS identifies the present disc, and it is configured to boot from it as first choice.

    The BIOS is the same as it was when buying - but this version has 2 previous builds to get

    I have to believe the following

    1. the discs are good, and the construction is lilkely ok.

    2. the cables are also correct.

    So the fault (s) are:

    1. the SATA controller has ceased to be particular that disc it starts from, allow no boot at all, so a fault of SATA controller

    2. There is something in the full version, which is connected to the main computer - maybe I should stop the construction earlier and swap discs then?

    3. a BIOS setting is in the way and I can't.

    4. something else is at fault

    Its the thing that bothers me and so I hope that someone can suggest what I could try next. I Apologise if this isn't the right place for this, I am new to this sort of thing. Best regards, Michael
