BSOD after Restore - ATIH 2011
Hi all,
I am currently trying to backup and restore a Windows 2000 Professional from a physical machine into a Virtual Machine using VMWare Workstation Pro 12. The backup and restore process worked without any errors, however when I tried to start-up the VM after the restore, I am faced with the following BSOD error:
STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF681B84C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
Refer to your Getting Started manual for more information on troubleshooting Stop errors.
The steps I did during the entire process are as follows:
1. Do a full backup on my physical Windows 2000 Professional machine
2. Create a new VM with Windows 2000 Professional OS using an iso file
3. Created a sufficiently big C partition on the VM during setup
4. Ran full setup for Windows 2000 Professional on the VM. It works fine. Same OS version with the physical Windows 2000 Professional that I am trying to transfer.
5. Do a full disk restore on the VM.
6. BSOD appears
Does anyone have any idea / faced this issue before? What I have understood from reading on other sites is that it may be due to the different drivers used in the physical Windows 2000 and the VM that I initially created. I have already tried to switch the VM drive to SATA, IDE and SCSI to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
