The first method only requires an external drive or even a big and quick stick, that is not unusual in our time. And additional system backup can not hurt. Disadvantage: if the old computer only has USB1. Well, run it on the night! Chance is a third way - to work directly with a physical disk from the VM. Dismount the disc from the old machine, connect it to the host as either internal or external, and mount as virtual in the VM. This method is more tedious, since the letters of all partitions should be removed before mounting to prevent concurrent access to the disk of the host and VM, and at the very mounting - identify disk in the list of species like PhysicalDrive0, PhysicalDrive1 etc.
If it came to remove the drive, the second method of transfer would have been better. This third way - only for those who have no place on the new computer the host , and who is going to run a VM with a physical disk constantly. Running a virtual machine - the system goes into BSoD with the message:. This happens due to the fact that the disk in VM is connected to a virtual SCSI controller, and the system has no appropriate driver.
You can solve this problem by replacing the IDE atapi. This trick will cheat the system at boot time by putting the right driver with a name corresponding to the settings in the registry. Check the checkboxes Connect at power on in the Device status section for both of the above virtual devices.
The process of Windows installation will start. Type the following code:. You can skip the second line, then agree to overwrite the existing atapi. All of the above applies to the case when the old drive is of IDE type. Need to determine, which file contains driver of the controller of your disk type and replace it with vmscsi.
It must be treated in the category Boot 2nd column. Restart the VM by typing exit at the command line. This time the system is booting successfully. It is worth noting that the system after its startup replaces the fake IDE driver back with the original one, so in case of rebooting without installing the driver VM SCSI controller, the blue screen comes back. That's why I rejected all offers of the system to manually install drivers and to reboot and in the first place installed the driver of SCSI Controller in Device Manager from the same floppy.
Now reboot is not fraught with the blue screen, and the system starts up successfully but still had to reboot once, as below. Installing VMware Tools. Run - and get this message:.

I am lost for ideas, normally p2v of a basic IDE pc works flawlessly. It will then detect there's an existing installation and give you the option to repair it. Take that second repair option. You'll need to reinstall all the service packs again. This blog post explains how to fix the issue on Linux while it's still a VM image. To be clear on the 'reinstall Windows ' you boot from Windows iso, don't follow the first Repair link, do an install, F8, then when it detects you already have Windows installed, do a repair from there.
It sounds like you have p2v ed the individual drive partitions, not the whole disk. If this is the case you're probably missing the partition sector, and the boot block s.
