Enable detect HAL on a 2008 R2 VHD image

To enable detect HAL on a VHD file:

• Attach the image and assign it a drive letter e.g. R:

• Run “BCDEDIT /STORE R:\BOOT\BCD /SET {default} DETECTHAL ON” from a command prompt

• Detach the image

• Done

  Hi Martin Very useful post! Is there a way to trigger the re-discovery of the HDD controllers too?
