VirtualBox VHD file giving BSOD
We have created a VM using disktovhd of an SBS2008 server but we are getting a BSOD when we try and run it in VirtualBox. We have tried changing it to an IDE drive instead of SATA and some of the various settings e.g. ICH6, PIIX3 etc but still get the same error
We have done this process on other servers and it has worked well so a bit stumped :-)
I have attached an image of the BSOD
Any ideas would be welcome?
Thanks

What you need to do is to boot from the setup DVD, System repair CD or from a "WinPE 3.0" and use the DISM command to inject the storage controller driver . You will find more info in the below links. Extract the storage driver from the virtualbox support tools.

I haven't done this in years, but it worked for me in the past.

Have you tried to boot to SAFE MODE. If it does, just remove the actual storage controller and reboot.

We are at the stage not where we have mounted the vhd image and run the command below to inject the correct drivers but get the error attached
We have tried to inject generic storage drivers with a DISM command
dism /image:d:\ /add-driver /driver:d:\windows\inf\msh

Would we have to use WinPE instead of just mounting the VHD file?
I see you used the commands EXACTLY as they were in the howto. Are those paths actually where your system partition is mounted?
Sometimes the locations mount in different spots... You have to look at which drive actually has your old Windows directory.

Yep checked and even change the mount point but still getting the error 50
dism /image:d:\ /add-driver /driver:d:\windows\inf\meg
I believe the SBS server that the image was taken from was an HP with RAID1
Thanks

The driver which is in the VM, does not match the hardware - storage controller.
All you've done is jus clone the disk of the physical server, and present to different hardware, which will result in a BSOD, unless the image/clone disk is converted.
