Sebus, try adding the driver in WinPE 3.0 x86 with command prepare .vhd
At first boot some time BSOD.
but if u F8 and chose boot safe mode with command shell it work
than reboot if bsod again boot again in command shell and than in the command shell of windows try vboot command update driver.

I do not use .
It is physical hardware, I only need(ed) the driver to mount vmkd (as it does it better (when it works, that is) then VMWorkstation itself

But had to give up on it.

It never worked for my on W2K3 specific image that I needed.

So all in all, great solution, but not working for what I needed it, so lost interest

will release a new version soon for Windows 7, and you can test it.

This new version is also much faster, and performance is as good as Microsoft's VHD driver.

And it supports nested virtual disks, so you can mount an inner vmdk/vhd/vdi inside a vbooted vhd/vmdk/vdi.

It will soon support taking a snapshot of the host Windows, so you can boot to different snapshots even if your host Windows is not booted from a vhd. In other words, one can install VBoot to a normal Windows OS (booted from a partition), then takes snapshots, just like the tradition vboot does on vhd files.

Please do, I sure will give it a go.
Would love to get it eventually working after all

So version 2 works absolutely fine on same hardware/setup on which previous one was failing!

Well done!!!

Is the snapshot while booted from partition (not vhd) available?

sebus

Glad to know that it works now.

The snapshot for live harddisk support is in v2, but we haven't really tested it much yet, so we didn't advocate it.

Can you explain more about how you would like to use this? Do you want to protect the hard disk from changes? We are also adding ram snapshots which can fulfil this purpose too. All changes are gone. We will also introduce mBoot, that is a file based driver, save snapshots to memory, but you can selectively pass through specified files. I wanted to know which of these may fit your planned use of vboot.
