P2V
- Resize C: / /dev/sda1 partition to 60GB using gparted.
- Delete BCD partition /dev/sda2.
- Create raw partition disk:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=vm.mbr bs=512 count=1 sudo install-mbr -i n -p D -t 0 vm.mbr # Certainly useless since we'll repair the boot with Win rescue disk sudo vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename zavcwl0035-sda1-mbr.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 1 -relative -mbr vm.mbr # This creates 2 files: ...-mbr.vmdk, and ...-mbr-pt.vmdk
Create VM:
- Mount zavcwl0035-sda1-mbr.vmdk
- Set hard-disk as Solid-state Drive
Boot VM with Ubuntu Live CD:
- In Gparted, delete all partitions but /dev/sda1, and set boot flag.
- This is needed to have Windows Repair Disc detect correctly the windows installation.
Boot in windows repair. Now it detects the partition. Let repair and restart. Boot again Windows repair disc. To skip automatic recovery, select restore image, then next, then cancel twice. Open a command prompt:
mountvol # Show a single volume C: (+X: and D: from the current boot) c: bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup ren C:\boot\BCD bcd.old bootrec /rebuildbcd
... and say Y when asked to add installation to boot list. Reboot, press F8.
Boot normally: Windows boots but we get a blue screen that quickly disappear. Go into advanced boot options by hitting F8 at boot, and choose Disable automatic restart on system failure. We see the message:
A problem has been detected ... ... Technical information: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A9928, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, ...)
When started in safe mode, several drivers are started, and stops at CLASSPNP.SYS.
Boot linux livecd, then delete all occurences of AGP440.sys and intelppm.sys.
