“XY Problem” explanations by various people These are the ones more likely to have some degree of relation to my problem: I’ve read articles, forum topics and Virtualbox tickets from the last 36 months using key-words such as manjaro, freeze, win 7, windows 7, windows, intel, 11th gen, etc. Just a few days ago there was another topic on VirtualBox and Win7. Win 7 freezes before installing and none have worked so far. I am trying to install a Windows 7 64-bit Professional as a VM guest being Manjaro 22.1 stable the host. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“… udev.log_priority=3 ibt=off” Https forum manjaro org/t/virtual-box-vm-dont-start/122941 (I am not allowed to post links, so far) VirtualBox machine can not start or freezes when using Linux Kernel 5.19 and Intel 11th Gen. I have also tried Zesko tip from Sep '22 about: I have installed “Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack”: VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.0.10.vbox-extpack $ pacman -Sl | grep virtualbox | grep installĮxtra linu圆1-rt-virtualbox-host-modules 7.0.10-1 Įxtra linu圆1-virtualbox-host-modules 7.0.10-4 $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l #count the number of processing units Model name : 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-1135G7 2.40GHz $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ‘model name’ | uniq display model name $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ‘vendor’ | uniq #view vendor name This way I avoid and weirdness with disks and concentrate on only the OS as it is only restoring the data and boot information.Linux xxx 6.1.41-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jul 25 09:17: x86_64 GNU/Linux I then use a Macrium Rescue ISO to boot the new VM with and restore the back from there. I usually use Macrium Reflect and make a backup of the donor to a USB drive. You can use almost anything to get an image of the disk. I've done it, but just as an exercise, again there is NO performance advantage of SATA over IDE in a VM If you are hell bent on having a SATA drive then create the VM with an IDE controller first, then add a second SATA controller along side the IDE, boot to Windows, get the SATA all straightened out with drivers, then down the VM and switch the disk from the IDE to the SATA controller and see if it works. There is NO performance advantage of a SATA controller in a VM, it's all virtualized anyway so one works just as well as another. This one factor has allowed me to create a lot of successful P2V clones. One key is to make the VM's disk controller an IDE controller and not a SATA - even if the 'real' laptop has a SATA. If this is not a supported use case for VirtualBox, please advise. If so, any advice would be most welcome and extra points if there is an online reference for the steps involved. Has anyone managed to run a Windows P2V disk image in VirtualBox? Having spent a week working on this, I wonder if it is even possible. Then before rebooting, I would remove the physical device from the virtual OS. There would be no conflict, because once the software finds the disk image, it would copy it to the virtual disk. Is it possible to copy the contents of a device to a file and provide the data this way? I do not know how to provide access to a physical device from the settings->storage option. I can boot off the rescue DVD, or off the original install DVD, but once up and running, the guest can never find the WindowsBackup directory on either a hard drive or a USB device. I also have a rescue DVD and a System Image of my hard drive created by Windows 7 Backup and Restore process. I have tried Clonezilla which creates a disk image and which completes the Restore process but when the restored system is started, it crashes immediately. I have a Windows 7 laptop which I would like to "clone" as a disk image and run as a VM in either a Linux Mint host or a Windows 10 Host.
