boot with raw HD image

[mrnicocl]

Hello, I created an image of a windows server 2003 using HDClone, the image is in RAW format, the problem is I can not use it.
i cantboot from the image. trying to mount it tells me it's a "physical hard disk", but at the option of "physical disk" does not give me the option to use it.

Hi and welcome

thats a quite unusual vmdk you have there.
The
createType="fullDevice"
line means that Player thinks it is a physical drive - change that to
createType="twoGbMaxExtentFlat"
