HELP missing driver

[wb2]

I recently converted a few Xenserver VM's over to VMware esxi 4.1. Everything seemed to be running fine last week. Then today I restarted one of the VM's and windows stopped with a:

File: \windows\system32\drivers\scsifilt.sys

Status: 0xc0000098

Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing, or corrupt.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I actually have the original vm from Xen that I'm just going to reimport. For future reference, does anyone know how I can browse a vdisk so that I can add/remove individual files. It would have been handy to fix this driver issue.

I would try to find this file on a working Windows Server installation and attempt to place the file where it should be or replace the missing or corrupted one.

Yes, those were my thoughts my second post. The question is how to replace an file within a vdisk. Can I browse through it, or do I have to mount it in another vm then browse it in windows?

[jamesbowling]

That is probably the quickest route of approach.

I know this is 2 years old but I just had this issue. The fix is to boot to your VM with an install disk, choose your language options then choose repair. When you get to your recovery environment, go to the command prompt and then delect the \windows\system32\drivers\scsifilt.sys file. Will boot up just fine after that.
