How to boot from a virtual Windows disk - 10 Workstation - TPG

I am trying to boot from a virtual gpt, with windows disk 8 inside. The host is windows 7.

I have a paragon image 12 a MS Surface Pro - Windows 8 pro.

I have a virtual machine Windows 8 pro machine, where I created a second virtual disk, and then I imported the image of paragon in this disc. Partitions have been successfully created and virtual disk is correctly mounted and recognized. Then I attributed to this second disk LUN 0,0 and I added the line "firmware ="efi""in the configuration file." But I get: "the operating system not found '.

Because this could be a common situation, I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.

You must assign manually, no support for VMware Workstation, firmware = "efi" option in the .vmx virtual machine configuration file.

  • How to boot from a USB - Portege R500 flash drive

    Hello

    I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, presented about 2 years ago and recently contracted a virus that has infected some of the startup files as the minute I connect it disconnects again, even in SafeMode! The quickest way I can think sorting is to reformat with the XP Recovery disk and reinstall windows.

    Problem! The CD/DVD drive on the computer laptop stopped working earlier, tried almost everything in the thread on this site, but had no luck.

    So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it this way. However in the boot parameters I only have the options of HARD drive / floppy drive / CD-ROM / LAN, none of them work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?

    Any help would be really appreciated

    Hello

    As far as I know, it should be possible to boot from USB FDD

    I don't know if you would be able to boot from a USB flash drive, but it of certainly worth a try m

    Generally, you can try to press the F12 key when the laptop is turned on.
    A start menu should appear on the screen, then you should see all bootable devices.

    PS: as far as I know the USB startup was available in ToshibaHWSetup (tool of Toshiba which changes the settings of the BIOS under windows OS.) So I guess boot from USB must be possible.

  • How to boot from simulated USB (flash drive) mass storage device?

    I do some development work on the anaconda, the Installer used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux and reconstructions based off of him.  I'm testing support of USB flash drive facilities and would rather test my changes using image files from a USB drive physical - a bit like editing an .iso image to a CD instead of using a physical CD of closure.

    I found a reference to the Framework of Linux-USB Gadget API, which looked exactly like what I was looking for.  After the reconstruction of the almond, I was able to run:

    • modprobe dummy_hcd
    • modprobe g_file_storage file = CentOS - 6.2 - i386 - netinstall.iso

    After that, the office immediately get the image as if I had actually plugged a USB stick with the same content.

    I am also able to connect this virtual USB device to a virtual machine, but when I start the virtual machine, it has no option to boot from the virtual USB device.

    Any ideas?

    VMware Workstation does not directly support boot from USB but you can use a third-party utility called Plop Boot Manager to boot a bootable USB disk and you may be.

  • XPS 12 / Win 8: how to boot from the recovery partition / reinstall Windows?

    Messed up things on a newly purchased 12 XPS in Windows 8, and I want to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall windows.

    Support online pages point by pressing F8 during startup, but this does not at all.

    How can I access the recovery partition?

    To access to the menu of, , press F2.

    To enter the boot options menu, press F12.

    Because the XPS 12 boots so fast, it is better to repeatedly press F2 or F12 after restarting the machine. During the startup process, texts for options should appear at the bottom right of the screen. If you enter Windows, you will need to restart again and press F2 or F12 until it works. However, I don't think there is an option in the BIOS to restore the computer to its factory condition. The previous post by DELL-VIKRAM M describes how to properly restore the machine to its factory state.

    Hi @kvartsnorsk

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I know that you are looking for drivers for Windows XP, unfortunately, this laptop was not sold configured for this OS. Drivers are available for windows 7 and 8 (32 and 64 bit)

    What happens if I do not see my operating system?

    On the boot USB device, it is likely that your bootable usb image isn't UEFI, so you should enable legacy boot in the BIOS to allow boot off this device.

  • under win8.1, how to boot from a dvd using UEFI on a hp 700-109 c desire?

    I installed a Kingston ssd 120 GB in the 700-109 c and you want to use clone drive ACRONIS to reduce proportionally the 2T dirve to the win8.1 120 GB and boot from there.  I can't activate the legacy in BIOS support because the software warns UEFI to boot from the disk of destination after the migration, must be enabled before we start the cloning process.   However, I am not able to boot from the dvd Kingston (ACRONIS) with secure boot UEFI active.  How do I proceed?

    Hello

    Cloning of the HD under Windows 8 is sometimes problematic. You must disable Secure Boot and turn on legacy mode. Your PC should reboot. I can boot Windows 8 as well in Legacy and UEFI mode with my HP laptop that the use of Windows 8.

    As a side note, usually with UEFI, you will need to insert the CD, and then the PC power cycle for UEFI to recognize an eligible UEFI device such as a CD or USB flash.

    A problem you will encounter is that the bootloader of Windows 8 will demonstrate to the sata hard drive after the clone so it does not start. Another possible cause is that the HP recovery partition is not going to work. Don't forget that you have a set of HP recovery or USB flash drives.

    Paragon makes one a great migration and cloning for windows8 utility which also contains a boot corrector function to manage the windows bootloader question. It is 8.1 compatible window is available for $12.   There is even a video available.

    Plug the USB key into one of the usb ports.

    Press the F10 key to save the changes and exit.

    Now, press the F9 key to select the first boot option.
