Help! Some CD Error 7B!

[spencerthang]

I read up on quite some topics already, and many said about driver
problems.
Let me tell you about some things about my compilation for better
troubleshooting.

I am using VMWare to emulate the C:\, so that whatever which is placed
on my D:\ drive will appear in the VMWare C:\.
The size of the active partition of D:\ is 643MB, with FAT.

Whenever I try to build a image, it works and goes onto the D:\.
Now, here the problem starts.
When I boot from hard disk, it was perfectly fine.
VMWare started the FBA and it was all smooth.
Hence I decided to erase all files, and I built the image again.
Then, using the HD2ISO tool, I created a CD ISO.
I instructed VMWare to boot from it, but it always give a blue screen
that says something about : "0xblah07b" error.

It can't be a hardware error, as it works like a charm on the hard
disk. I also tried to run FBA, shutdown, then make ISO, did not make
any changes at all. This time, it booted up very sucessfully, with the
problem : "A registry archive cannot be written to. Shutting down
Windows..." The message was something like that, cannot remember
exactly.
Can someone please give me step by step simple explaination?
Tell me where I had gone wrong.

Spencer,

Please read link that I gave you in other threads:
7B error can be due to many things but it meanin is always the same. OS
partition with ARC path matching the one in boot.ini could not be accessed
trough booted drivers.

First simplify your case by using first partition of HDD during the FBA.
Second please add El-torito CD that you have created to be present during
the FBA.
Third on the end of operations. Make sure that EWF is enabled and that you
know hoe etprep.exe works.

Slobodan
