Backup ---> VMware Image (opening in VMware Workstation 6) not working

Thread needs solution

Hello All,

Every time I restore an image to a Vmware file, it boots up just fine, and I can use it perfectly until it is rebooted. After it boots it tries to find drivers for all the unknown "virtual" hardware, then when it has rebooted it bluescreens and cycles a reboot.

Am I missing something? Am I able to UR vmware drivers into the package? I am just using it to test backups, but this is still kinda annoying.

Thanks,

Hello Troy,

after the first start of the VM you need to remove old SATA/RAID Drivers out of the Device Manager and you have to install the VMware Tools in the VM. I recommend the Installation of the VMware Tools to get a better Performance and to get all Drivers.

Let me now if you need more help.

Best regards
