I wrote quite a lot, sorry for that. I tried to be as thorough as possible in describind what I did, so please forgive me for the length of this post.^^
Ok, last week my Windows OS broke after an update.
It still does work in general, but there are many things which have gone haywire, especially many windows internals.
Therefore I decided to reinstall the whole system. But before I do that I wanted to convert my physical harddrive into a virtual machine.
Why convert a broken Windows drive? Because I want to have the convenience to always take a look at my old windows via a virtual machine to see what I might have forgotten in my new install.
I did this in the past with Windows XP and it worked like a charm.
Nowadays I have Windows 7 64-bit and "normally" I could use hotcloning. But since one of the things that broke is the Volume Shadow Service, I had to resort to cold cloning.
The last few days have been an odyssey for me and I arrived at a point where I have no idea how to continue.
This is everything I did so far:
My physical system drive is a "Hitachi HDT725025VLA380 ATA Device" with Windows 7 64-bit on it.
The whole drive is encrypted with Truecrypt.
I used MOA to coldclone my drive, i.e. in combination with the vmware-vmdiskmanager.exe I created a raw.vmdk of the drive.
That worked pretty well.
Then I followed the instructions on http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html in order to prevent the 7B Bluescreen.
In order to do that to my encrypted vmdk I booted the virtual machine into MOA and mounted the vmdk with truecrypt as drive C:
Then I opened the registry editor and loaded the hive from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM and made the changes according to the previously mentioned webpage.
Afterwards I unloaded the hive again and rebooted the VM.
The Truecrypt bootloader came up where I entered my password, like I used to do on my physical machine.
It accepted my password and....... the Windows-Starting screen, along with the animation appeared! *yay* (which means the on-the-fly decryption of truecrypt works)
But then I STILL got the 7B Bluescreen, right before I would expect to see the Windows Logon.

Since that didn't work I then tried to inject drivers.
So I reverted the virtual machine to my earlier snapshot and booted into MOA again.
Started Truecrypt and mounted the partition with my Windows 7 64-bit on it onto C: again.
Started DRIVERINJECT gui and chose Windows 2008 (there was no Windows 7 in the list and I think 2008 is basically the same core?) and when it asked for the SYSTEM hive I navigated to it on C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
The program went through with its injection, everything seemed to work fine, green lights and all.
Rebooted -> Still 7B Bluescreen.
Between that and me writing this post several hours have gone by where I tried to find out how to boot Windows.
I found many infos on how to get it to work, but always with Windows XP, 2003, or the like. But never with Windows 2008 or Windows 7.
Do I need to inject the drivers I used back in the physical system?
OR do I need to install VMWare drivers?
I THINK I have to inject some VMWare drivers into the Windows on the vmdk.
But why then doesn't the standard injection method of DRIVERINJET gui work?
Is it because I have a 64-bit OS on the vmdk?
So what files/drivers do I have to place inside the vmdk, and where to exactly?
And what registry changes do I have to make? Are they always the same or does it depend on the drivers?
I've gone through the old forum, the new forum, the FAQ, the vmware forum, random googled sites.
My head hurts after inhaling so much information and not getting anywhere.
Sorry for all the questions, it's just that I don't know what to do anymore.
Please, I hope you can help me, or at least point me in the right direction?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance and thanks for such a great tool like MOA, without which I would've never been able to cold clone my drive this easily in the first place!
