Hi,
So I've been trying to get this working all day. We've had a server with ESXi4.0 mostly crash but I was able to get the VM folders from ESX via SCP. I've copied these into our main ESXi5.5 cluster (the vmdk-flat and vmx files). I can boot the machine but when it tries to boot it comes up with a repair screen for windows.
Googling all of this I found this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/927392 however when I boot into repair mode windows shows me the drive with 0MB. I'm assuming beause of a controller driver issue? The original VM Hardware version was 7 but I imported at version 9. Could that cause this problem? Is there a way for me to get into the registry and enable something to allow this driver? Anyone run into this before? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
