Stop 0x0000007B (inaccessible boot device) on an existing VM Code, not after the conversion of vcenter

Please forgive any misuse of terminology that I am fairly new to technology - VMware

I have a VM I created fee-BONES is win2k sp4.  It worked for about a year with no problems.  During the last two weeks, I've created a few additional VM using vcenter to create the P2V. I noticed recently that my original VM that wasn't an import has been planted with the reading blue screen 0x0000007B (inaccessible boot device).  The virtual machine reached the blue screen with the error even after each reboot.

For fun, I tried to change the bus type of bus to LSI Logic - a reboot always gives the same blue screen when starting upwards. (So I've switched back to logic of bus).  I spent the server ESXi 3.5 in maintenance mode and did a reboot.  No luck again.  Then I tried to start the virtual machine in safe mode - but unfortunately I still get the blue screen and error 0x0000007B.

Any idea on what I should try next?  Thank you.

Hi Paul,.

Welcome to the forums.

If your virtual machine has worked for a long time, it must be a problem inside the guest OS or a corrupted driver or registry. Be sure to set up the SCSI controller to its original value. You can also have a look at your storage device, in which case there is a bad block on your physical disk.

If you need to recover data from the virtual machine, you can join his secondary disk to another Windows running as a virtual disk. Otherwise, you can try to reach the installation CD and attempt a repair.

Good luck.

  • Satellite on L9W - B Mini - Inaccessible Boot Device

    Hi all

    I installed win10 and decided to do a complete reset that I gave this computer to someone else to use.
    After the reset, it does not start properly and fails with an "inaccessible boot device message".

    I created a USB boot with a version of win8.1 to install, but no touchscreen or keyboard works, so I can't go ahead with the installation.

    someone had this problem? I want to refer to toshiba that I'm tired of this device

    Thank you

    Hi, I installed Windows 10 and reset mine causing this problem, it seems Windows 10 upgrade does not work properly.

    The drivers for the keyboard and touchscreen are not standard, so are not integrated to the version 8/10 bootable usb. You can get a normal usb hub usb microphone and plug in a usb keyboard/mouse to go or if you have created a recovery drive as Toshiba tell you in the instructions it will actually contain the right key drivers.

    To boot from the recovery disc press FN N (F12) as soon as the machine is running and the Toshiba logo shows, and he will give you the option of what to start from.

  • Inaccessible boot device error. New motherboard.

    De : Meigs

    I'm changing my motherboard that supports the quad core processor. However, I get an inaccessible boot device error when I try to boot with the new motherboard. I tried to boot from the installation dvd and repair, but it cannot solve the problem.

    I don't want to perform a new installation. It was easy with WinXP pro. The cd should solve the problem. But, I can just know how to do this with Windows Vista.

    Is there a way to get the registry to look for new drivers? It may not be a big problem since the installation DVD to see the drive with any action on my part.

    From: Rick Rogers

    Hi Meigs,

    Sorry, but change the motherboard in most cases it will take a reinstall. The exception would be a card replacement or one that is very closely related. XP could affect a repair installation, it is not possible in Windows Vista due to changes in the way the operating system is built on the hard drive.

    Moreover, the error message at startup is likely, given that the new motherboard uses a driver different thant previous to load the hard disk.

    Good luck

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • A problem with cc libraries "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application".

    I'm working on our catalogue on INDesign CC 2015, I have a links to my libraries, I worked every day without any problem. I work on a Mac and Win system, I put the file on my disk hard or on files of cc.

    2 days ago, I opened the file and as a result with any missed links, when I tried to re-link on my library the program shown Indesign files missed this message "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application", I contacted Italian cat Adobe they suggested me to change the name of the file I did but nothing happened, they suggested to create a new owner of the computer, but it did not work because I work within a team and the file is opened to others of collaboration. I have 333 links so what I shell do? Please help me, I have to finish this work, we need print it out as soon as possible.

    I had this problem after an Indesign file that we've been working on the opening of my colleague. She has made a few changes and then when I went back to work on the file of the library of all the links were broken and I had him "you don't have to leave."

    I've corrected the problems by opening Illustrator and rename the library. InDesign revived and everything from the library was connected properly.

  • DV7-4180us giving msg No. Boot Device or n, HDD, Win7 does not start.

    Well, I think I've reached the beginning of what may be a serious problem. I've been away for 9 months and my laptop had been stored in his bag all the time not used with the battery disconnected. I went 2 weeks ago and it had been fine until last Saturday. I started it upwards and once the logon screen Win7 and logging frozen inside, and the screen went black. I have it turned off and restarted, and then he came up with the error message "No. Boot Device" as if Win7 is no longer installed. I ran several virus scanners and they came back without anything, I'm sure that this is not a virus, I mean I have not yet downloaded something long because before my departure other than all of the updates, I missed. I tried to reset the BIOS to factory default and use PC tune-up AVG to fix all the errors, but I'm still having this issue.  Funny, it is sometimes the laptop runs and sometimes it won't so I think this load default Win7 will progressively get worse? Not really sure cause I'm not very technical with laptops.

    I tried to run the test drive in the BIOS when it does not load, but it is just like "No hard drive detected" every time, but it passes the test of memory.

    The reason why I'm here is to know what are my options to resolve this problem, so far the only thing that I can think of is to replace the HARD drive and reinstall Win7 but I want to make it as painless as possible, or see what others can suggest.

    I have no disc for reinstallation of Win7 or any similar to disks. My laptop is out of warranty. I know that I have the Local disk drive (c :)) and also the recovery disk (D :).)  My hard drive is a TOSHIBA MK6465GSX.

    Some of my questions are when I take off the Toshiba HDD that will of course remove the (C :) drive BUT it will also delete my recovery disk (D :)? * see link below for what players I have *)

    Should I replace the HARD drive I have to reinstall Win7 correct?

    Hello

    A safe and fast way is to clone your HARD drive when it is until running, it means you have the same OS, drivers, software. All you need is the same size or more (capacity) of HARD drive and cloning software. You can find some free cloning software in the following list:
