Hi there, I am trying to test a physical windows 2000 restore onto a VMware guest. The guest is also windows 2000 with the same SP4 updates. The only difference is that the guest has less HD space and VMtools installed. I've tried to restore the disk files, the system object and then a copy of the original HAL.dll and boot.ini from the vm. I also tried following several leads from google and one from IBM that tells me to restore "{SYSTEM OBJECT}\winnt\system32\catroot\*" c:\winnt\system32\ -replace=all -subdir=yes first. None of these have worked so far. The system just hangs trying to boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
