I have an old HD with XPSP2 on a dead laptop, which I didn't want to fix, since the display costs $100. Wanted to convert it as .vmdk and run the latter using VirtualBox or VMWare, etc.
I dd'ed the whole disk, and converted that dd image to vmdk using qemu-img. Then started the VM, only to end up with BSOD and non-stop restarting problems. Pressing F8 in safe mode helps ya to see what the problem is. Technical Error ox000007B
Inaccessible boot drive.
Some IDE driver problem; the problem is not with the driver tho, since the driver is on that image. But there are no entries in the HKLM for the IDE device Virtualbox emulating. So, you need to edit the registry on that Harddrive.
You can connect that HD as a slave and regedit --> HKLM --> Load Hive --> F:/Windows/.../config/system --> Save file as "blah" and get registry entries and merge it.
