How to manually load HDD controller (SATA or IDE) drivers into Windows 7
I want to make physical to virtual conversion by hands.
How can I manually load IDE or SATA drivers into Windows 7?
Is there recovery console?
Is there such option in ERD commander?
What are detailed steps to do it?
Thank you for your answers and help!

I have done image from physical computer (with the help of Ghost).
Then I applied this image to virtual HDD.
Then I fix boot with the help of -start up recovery- option of installation disk of Windows 7 professional.
Windows start booting but then crashes with error "0x0000007b"
So I want to load drivers of virtual IDE controller with help of Windows recovery console or ERD commander.
help me please with the steps that I need to do to manually load it with recovery console or ERD commander.
I do not want to make Windows reinstallation (repair) with help of installation disk (it will destroy some bugs that I want to keep unattached).
I do not want to make physical to virtual conversion with help of automatic utilities (don't ask why, it is long to explain)
I just want to preload necessary drivers with the help of recovery console or ERD commander. (like it was in Windows XP)

I would recommend sysprep'ing the image before using ghost. This will strip out the hardware ID's from the image, which i think is the problem, not that it needs extra drivers. After doing this ghost it to the virtual drive and after load it should work.

But what to do if there is no source computer anymore. Or if you want to restore Virtual machine, that is archived 2 years ago on different hardware?
I need to do it on Offline system without automatic utilities, as it was in Windows XP

Here is an article about about to manually load a HDD device driver during a recovery... you might find it handy

graye are you sure that this procedure adds drivers to offline operating system - not to ERD console. I do not have correct drivers for VMWare SCSI hard disk. May be I can export it from another system, but I am not sure what to export. That's why I first I ask you (before researching what drivers to export) - are you sure that this procedure adds drivers to offline system, not to ERD commander?
I also found this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976
But HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ CurrentCon trolSet\Se rvices\Msa hci and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ CurrentCon trolSet\Se rvices\Ias torV are already set to 0.
I really cannot believe that it is impossible to load drivers to offline system.

Does somebody knows what exactly occurs during SATA or SCSI driver installation.
The files are copied from distributive?
Appropriate permissions on files are applied?
Some registry keys are created?
Appropriate permissions on registry keys are applied?
What else?
Is there some modification or interaction with windows core components, that are accessible only programmatically?
