Reboot the virtual machine. Jason in his post compares then the differences between VMware Workstation and vSphere 4. In the Workstation you just have to do the configuration in one place, but not in the vSphere 4.
It's because Vmware workstation is ahead and many new features available in Workstation helps also do the testing of those new features before the availability in vSphere. Connect on: Facebook.

Note that you may need to back up the system so that you can restore it if it cannot boot after changing the HAL the snapshots of virtual machine may be of help. Click Device Manager. Expand the Computer icon. Click the Driver tab and then Update Driver. Follow the wizard by selecting Next and then under "What do you want the Wizard to do?
This is critical, make certain you choose correctly. After selecting the correct HAL, follow the rest of the wizard to install the driver. When prompted to reboot, shut the machine completely down. Reboot the computer. Monday, January 12, AM. What processor do you have? There are reports of performance problems specifically with Windows and XP SP3 virtual machines.
Please go to www. Run it you don't install it and get the full details on your processor's capabilities. Post your results here. Although you could get this data from Intel's specifications, I'd be more confident of the results from the tool. Intel Xeon E 2. Is there any more info that would be helpful? On another note it seems like most things that require network access e.
However, the OS only sees and uses 1 core. If I change it back to ACPI multiprocessor which is an avalible driver , then it goes into boot loop again.
I have tested each compnent in other machines as well as run memtest, CPUz, Prime95, etc and all hardware is fine. I have also tried reinstalling the OS, as a test, and it worked fine. However, I do not want to do that. These machines are currently setup correctly. Both are AD and I do alot of testing on them. Reinstalling would be a real pain and require alot of man hours.
I would appreciate any help or ideas. From everything I have read, this should not be an issue. Thank you! If it boots in safe mode, but not a regular boot, it sounds almost like a driver is causing it. Are you sure it's rebooting, and not bugchecking and automatically rebooting? Thank you for your reply! I am not sure. I can't figure out how to tell because, when I choose "boot logging" mode, it doesn't write anything to the boot log. I think its rebooting itself too fast. If I delete the boot log and enable boot logging mode, wait for it to reboot itself a couple of times, and then enter safe mode to read the log, it only has a log of the safe mode boot.
I have even tried a delete of the log file, boot log enabled, and a BartPE disk to access the log file and its blank. So I just let the box alone for a bit over an hour to see if it righted itself, but it just boot looped the whole time. I would like to try fresh ACPI multiprocessor PC drivers, but I have no idea where to get them and, its a long shot, as the ones I currently have are still MS signed so I think its doubtful anything is wrong with them.
Moving from one ACPI to another should not have any issues. Is there another way to find out what is going on right before the boot loop? I have several acronis images I can restore from so I am willing to try anything at all.
It's not strange. This means that if some driver is loaded which cannot handle 2 processors, it could crash. To come back to Cluberti's question, did you disable the automatic reboot on blue screen option? Don't have an NT system here to find it. That makes alot of sense! Any idea how I could discover what driver it is? Or what driver could not be compatible? I had it stripped down to just video card Nvidia , motherboard nforce 4 ultra and MS drivers.
All the newest drivers as of 4 months ago. I can get you version numbers of drivers, if that would help, but I did try and update them all. When I updated them all, I ran into a problem with the video card and had to uninstall the pervious version manually to get the new one in, but after I did that, it still boot looped like previously.
I thought it was a motherboard driver enabling the cool and quiet feature. I checked the other box and it also had the cool and quiet driver installed. I uninstalled it from both and installed the AMD x2 64 driver. It did increase performance of the working box but didn't change the boot loop of the ailing one.
I left it alone and it looped 4 times, I just tried boot logging mode and am booting into safe mode to see if it was able to write any log. Edit 2: Nope, only the safe mode boot log, again. Man, if I could just find out what is being loaded when the boot loop occured, it feels like I would be able to fix this. This causes windows to list all drivers which are being loaded on screen.
I hope you can read fast enough. I never heard of such an option in NT. Of course that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That sounds promising and I do have a camcorder. Thanks alot!
I will give it a go tomorrow its 3AM here and post back. I appreciate the help!!
