I got the classic Hal.dll error but after fixing it I still got a blue screen error, not surprising since the OS woke up inside a new computer! I expect the IDE controller failed at the first hurdle and stopped the OS from starting. I even tried just plugging the image and copying all the original HDD the files (via bartPE) to the partition. Remember that Workstation (actually, all virtualization products as far as I know) doesn't support firewire either, so you'll be using your M-audio device on the un-optimized native system, then having to transfer/share your data into the VM.Īfter much messing around and approx 40 hours on this problem I've finally given up!īartPE was the answer to getting things going from 'Dos' but even then Acronis wanted to see a completely clean drive to restore to and wouldn't allow partitions. It wasn't clear from your original post if you had a good reason like this or not. So Acronis doesn't have USB drivers on the boot CD? I use the Mac and PC entireley seperately and would just have common files on a USB external drive should I need to share.Įverything was going great until I hit the PC side of the migration from my 2 computers to one iMac.surprise surprise. It doesn't matter about access to the mac volume. Yes it could be done but it would be the best part of a week of my spare time to get all the apps installed and configured so I guess I wanted to go for a quicker option.

I also have a special version of windows which has been trimmed down nnice and lean and runs at a lightining pace. I don't want to install everything from scratch on the boot camp partition as it has taken literally years to get my machine working as I want it. I tried using Acronis True Image, I already use that for my back ups, but when booting into the Acronis CD, the USB mouse and keyboard are ignored and I'm unable to select my restore image from the menu and it just times out into windows! This experience is what triggered my problems!
