Hi All,
I am trying to convert a Windows 7 Hyper-V machine to VMware. I installed Converter 5.1 on the source machine and converted it successfully.
On boot, I am getting a BSOD 7B error. I have researched and troubleshooted this error greatly and found that it can be fixed using the following instructions:
- Click Start> Run, type regedit, and click OK. The Registry Editor window opens.
- In the Registry Editor, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
- Select File> Load Hive.
- Navigate to the drive on which Windows is installed (usually C:\).
- Open the file named SYSTEM located at Windows/system32/config.
- Name the file as P2V, when prompted.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\P2V\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS.
- Right-click the Start key and click Modify.
- Set the Value data to REG_DWORD 0.
- Close the Registry Editor.
- Restart the virtual machine.
The LSI_SAS and LSI_SAS2 start keys were already set to 0 in my case. This did not help. I found some other articles stating that the following:
Aliide = 3
Amdide =3
Atapi = 0
Cmdide = 3
iaStorV = 3
intelide = 0
msahci = 3
pciide = 3
viaide = 3
I've set these, and still no luck. I even tried importing the LSI_SAS registry key from a working Windows 7 virtual image and no luck. I also tried copying the lsi_sas.sys driver from the working Windows 7 machine to the problematic one and no luck.
Is there anything else I can try at this point?
