Hi All,
I have created two images of my old Windows7 x86 drive C: each by way of different tools.
One was with M$ Sysinternals "Disk2VHD" and the other by "VMware vCenter Converter Standalone" and then converting the resulting .vmdk file to VHD by way of StarWind Converter Free.
Both resulting VHD files will boot when tested in the most recent VirtualBox under Windows 8.1 x64.
But neither VHD file will boot from the Win 8.1 BCD menu when added by EasyBCD.
I should note that I already have two bootable BCD entries, booting Windows 10 TP x64. Both of these boot perfectly. So, the problem is not the ability of EasyBCD to add correctly to the Win8.1 BCD menu and since both of the two problematic VHD's do boot in VirtualBox I cannot see there is any problem with EasyBCD.
I have used both EasyBCD 2.2 and the latest beta. No difference.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong please.
I tried in desperation: the 2 VHD's that will not boot, were re-created after the physical original Windows partition had the antivirus turned off and the page file set to NONE. Again no change.
I get a BSOD error 7B. This is the same physical computer and the drivers should all be suitable, not like I am using the VHD created from a totally different computer.
Regards,
