Newbie here. Not sure if this is a converter question or a player
question. I don't want to double post so if there is a moderator please
place in the correct spot.
I converted my old (5yrs) laptop (XP
sp3) that has a broken screen. I'd like to keep everything as is in a
VM on my new machine. Did conversion and all looked ok.
Windows
tries to boot, stops and I get a blue screen ...0007E error then a quick
VMware page and back to a boot menu couning down to try a normal boot
in 30 seconds. It will do this forever. If I select safe mode with
networking it boots the machine fine.
If I look at device manager I
get a warning messages on "base system Device" and "video controller
(VGA compatible)". If I view hidden devices I see that I have an
warning/error at "visual NDMonitor", and "Partmgr". Also windows does a
hardware check and says it found new hardware and wants to install a
video controller but if I select do it, it just says can't find driver
and my hardware may not work properly. I think it tries to find a
driver for another device also.
I have tried to search for solutions
but have yet to find anything.
I tried installing VM tools but no
help.
should I delete the bad drivers and hope windows rebuilds?
I
suspect it is some hardware driver issue thing. (moving from a gateway
to Toshiba)
Should I try another conversion with different
settings? (old sys only had 172MB ram so VM asked for that, also
created serial and Parallel ports that I disable as the new system does
not have these.)
Any simple way to identify offending driver /
hardware configuration issues?
VM Hard drive is IDE, not SCSI.
Any suggestions?
I'd really
love to get this v machine up and running. Thanks for all the help and
wisdom. All help and suggestions appreciated.
