Re: Need help to boot a previous Physical Machine partition manually converted to VMDK

$

By default these were already inside the VMX(9.0) file.

scsi0.present = "TRUE"

scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068"

But when I added the VMDK converted by ETBackup it added as a IDE, so I closed VMWARE, then with notepad++ changed the following inside the VMX
file:

 

scsi0:0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0:0.fileName = "MYHD_W7.vmdk"
scsi0:0.redo = "" ---> This was added atuomatcally by the software when booting.

 

Hope that this lsisas1068 is ok,
But how do I add this in the registry of Windows 7 Virtual Machine ?
What is the EXACT HKLM key to create or modify ?

Every Boot option doesn't work (NO SAFE MODE, no anything, NO Repair(gives error 0xc000000e). Still I can use the Windows 7 install DVD and used that to repair the main Boot, but how do I change the registry hive from the shell ?

I've a live DVD so I could open Windows to perform few tests an making modifications, if you know an utility that let me open the HIVE offline and that let me save the info I could try that in alternative to using the shell.

Thanks for your help, hope you can answer soon,
Relok.
