permanent reboot

[MRoosen]

Hi all,

I have the Problem, that I try to run a Vista Clone on an XP Prof Computer with Workstaion 6 (Trial). I made the clone with acronis, reinstalled that on on the VM system and this restarting all the time. The clone is working fine on the real system.

Any clue what the problem could be ?

Thx

Max

Hi Max,

Most likely the image does not contain the correct device drivers for the virtual hardware that is found in the virtual machine.

Thx, I guessed that. But it brings me too the next point, how to get the drivers intoo my Vista and where to find the drivers I need?

Thanks

Max
