Last month, My workmate needed to restore Windows Server 2008 R2 Bare-Metal backup to a VMware workstation environment. By default, Windows Server 2008 R2 Bare-Metal backup restore to a VM, Hyper-V or VMware workatation, it will show "STOP: 0x0000007B" error.
Then, I searched and read a useful post, Restoring a Win7 Complete PC image in Hyper-V. The forum users provided solutions for Hyper-V and VMware workstation. I tried to show you the steps which are provided by this forum.
For Hyper-V
Assuming that the Bare-Metal backup was restored to a VM and you get the "STOP: 0x0000007B".
1. Insert Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD.
2. Boot from DVD-Rom.
3. On "Install Windows" screen, click "Next".
5. Select "Use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an operating system to repair.".
6. Click "Next".
7. Select "Command Prompt".
8. Perform "regedit" to start "Registry Editor".
Remark: I tried to modify this setting and then the Windows Server 2008 R2 can boot up in Hyper-V environment. If the above setting doesn't work, please change the following registry settings.
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/<item below> and then the value of the "Start" parameter
Aliide = 3
Amdide =3
Atapi = 0
Cmdide = 3
iaStorV = 3
intelide = 0
msahci = 3
pciide = 3
viaide = 3
19. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Recovery".
20. On the menu, click "File > Unload Hive".
21. On "Confirm Unload Hive" window, click "Yes".
22. Close "Registry Editor".
23. On "System Recovery Options", click "Restart".
After restarted, the Windows Server 2008 R2 can boot up in a VM of Hyper-V.

DeleteI scoured the net for two nights and found countless references to the regedit setting for intelide but thanks to your listing of all the settings, I was able to restore my sbs 2011 backup into a VM in server 2008 r2 and get past the "Windows failed to start.
