Hello, I currently have a WindowsXP SP3 virtual machine in VMWare. Since Microsoft doesn't have the trial iso for download, I am using a vhd image extracted from the xp mode program. I attached the vhd as a virtual G drive on my desktop pc and told vmware to boot fron that drive, which worked fine. I did install vmware tools, which I hope isn't causing the issues. I would like to copy this Windows XP virtual hard drive to an ssd and boot from it on my ivy bridge laptop, which should work and is compatible.
However, i have mounted the vhd as my G drive on my desktop and used easeus todo backup to clone the vhd to my Kingston sa400 ssd, and none of my computers see the drive as bootable from the bios. If i look inside the drive i see all of the files needed. How do i fix this? Ahci driver issue? I have found some driver but i have no clue what to do with them.
