Running windows7_64 from a physical disk on VirtualBox or VMware

Question

linux

For the VM, I did not find a manual at all, only man, where it is done easily through the graphical interface, but in version 7 there is simply no such thing and there is nowhere to select a physical disk.

With WB, things are more encouraging if you feed vdmk only the sda1 partition,

# VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/t-qb/.VirualBox/winows7.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 1 -relative -register

then the download does not even reach to the hornbeam, but “grub_______” pops up, if you feed the entire sda,

# VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/t-qb/.VirualBox/winows7.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -register

then the hornbeam loads perfectly, you can select Windows, but she does not want to boot.

But with the option of specifying the bootloader in vdmk, I did not figure it out, maybe the name of this file is indicated in the mana only for XP (winxp.mbr), but not for win7. Tried feeding the vdmk by itself with mbr dump

# dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/mbr bs=512 count=l

# VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/t-qb/.VirualBox/winows7.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/ sda -partitions 1 -mbr '/home/mbr'

The result is the same as in the first case: "grub_______".

I will be happy with any solution to the problem.

Problems with AHCI can be solved using
support.microsoft.com/kb/922976/ru
In short, you need to install drivers if they were not there
Then write 0 to the registry branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet \Services\IastorV
And reboot already in AHCI mode.

Answer 3

so I can do a system restore, Windows suggests, maybe there was an unsuccessful start, but I'm afraid that after it I REALLY won't be able to boot into this system. The disk with Windows is the first in the system ... sda1
And by the way, it still seems to me that this is because of the hardware profiles, so how can I configure them?

Answer 4

And it is possible more in detail, since bcdedit? Is it already after the choice in the hornbeam 7ki will there be another choice of boot configuration? Tomorrow in the morning (more precisely, when I wake up) I will read the mana and try to cheat.

Answer 5

I put Windows 7 64 business, on VirtualBOX, on a physical SSD, as a real OS was 7 64 Ultimate.
Everything was set to work, but it was terribly slow. It is better to use virtual HDD.
Maybe under VMWare the situation is better.
In order for Windows 7 64 business to load, I had to check the box ... in the system tab. Toli IO APIC roofing felts PAE, then the BSOD should disappear.

You can correct the boot menu with the EasyBCD program . Make a backup copy of what is there now, and then combine it with what happens after the restoration of the boot.
