Sometime, DVD ROM/RW maybe bad?? or bad memory ram or Hard drive issues? Try swap memory ram and DVD/DRW drive and try again.. ATGPUD2003
new iso installed correctly. i backup it using acronis backup & restore. i restored the image to my pc but i have problems. corrupted system files. new programs i installed are geting corrupted, antivirus warned me that his files are changed. pc freeze. run checkdsk and found problems. when i boot for the first time the system keeps installing drivers more than 3 reboots. the same procedure. ill try it to install the system i will backup too a real pc rather than to vmware. anyway a big mess. never had those problems before. maybee its because the windows iso is COEM version and not retail. i dont know
I don't get what you're doing, installing a vm and backing it up and restoring it? Driver-wise the 2 iso's are exactly the same, afaik.
yes. since first i had problems with windows just to be sure its not bios, ram, hdd fault i installed windows in vmware. worked fine there (as few as i used it) but when restore the vmware system backup to a pc it wont work correctly.
Why would you want to use a vmware installed os-backup on a real system, maybe the driverproblems are because of that?
Why not install direct to hardware c drive then capture a new wim. vhd would have different requirements to a hardware install.
Guys i dont use vmware image to restore in other pc. I boot up using acronis in a vmware and backup the windows just like in a real pc.
I still don't get where the vmware part comes into this? Recovering from a backup, made on other hardware, wether it's vmware or a real pc, is not recommended and can cause driverinstallation problems. Only when the backupped system is sysprepped/generalized, it can (will) work. This option unloads the installed drivers so the windows install is cleaned and when installing/recovered on another system it won't give (driver)problems. To do this correctly you could shrink a peace of your partition, create a new partition from it, but do not format, and use it as a dedicated drive for vmware, install windows in audit mode (and you could install other desired things like software) and sysprep/generalize/capture it. Put the captured install.wim into an original iso and use it to install on other systems.
Acronis has universal restore and paragon has p2p adjust. Just to show you the diference i booted the new recovered pc from vmware image without using p2p adjustment. It fails to load. Than i used p2p adjustment and it loads correcltly. I also installed the drivers and everything looks fine. This is the 32bit version of vmware image. I will try an older version of acronis tomorrow. I think the updated one is giving problems. Sorry for the low quality video but i had to compress it because the original one was over 1 gb youtube/watch?v=Hn-rv-FJ5Lo
