Hi everybody,
I have the following issue and hope that somebody can give me a hint about what might be going on!
My system has two raid 1 arrays - one is running on XP Professional SP3 the other one is running on Vista x64 Ultimate SP1.
When I start my virtual machines (either from the Virtual PC console or when double-clicking the *.vmc files) than everything is working fine on XP and the virtual machines are booting and running as expected.
However, on Vista the following is happening (and I hope somebody has an idea):
1. Starting the Virtual machines from the console leads to an immediate reboot of my host machine (I can't even see any boot screen of the virtual machine - it is like clicking start in the VPC console -- > reboot of host).
Now I tried the following:
- (enabling, disabling) hardware virtualization
- changing and disabling network adapters that the VPC uses
- changing the allocated memory
- enabling / disabling UAC
but nothing helps.
2. When I start the virtual machine from its folder (on partition J of the other (xp) raid 1) then everything works fine and the virtual machine doesn't cause the host to reboot!
Again, from the console it dies - what can this be?
I have a DELL M90 with Vista x64 Ultimate SP1 which doesn't have these problems - so this means perhaps that it is a hardware related problem (but then it shouldn't work at all) or it doesn't like the drivers for Vista (as it runs fine under XP in comparision).
I appreciate any suggestions....
Regards
Patrick
