Hi Andreas, Thanks for the reply. I'm using Workstation Pro to try and create the VMs but everytime the OS fails to load properly. I'm doing this via a guest OS as I don't have an ISO for a fresh Windows 7 install. The hard disk itself does have Windows 7 installed on it with all system files present and correct. I have tried creating the VDMK of the physical disk but that wouldn't even load the OS and would fail to boot properly. Thank you

Hello, I have been passed a hard-drive from a colleague. We cannot use it to log into but can access the files. It has Windows 7 installed and has run correctly. Is it possible to virtualise from just the hard-drive and if so what would the process be? Thank you
