Just wanted to share some learnings from trying to use Macrium to P2V my Windows 7 SP1 machine.
I was having tons of boot issues - 0x7B BSOD even after using macrium tools - which I think was related to improper setup on my VM. So, what I did was use ViBoot to make me a virtual machine that worked. Problem was, you were tied to using ViBoot and the Macrium image in order to run, which was unacceptable for me.
So, I created a VM and some virtual drives that I used Macrium to restore the image on to. They still wouldn't boot, so I went and then copied the configuration settings in VirtualBox (or hypervisor of your choice) from the ViBoot machine to my new machine. Once those matched, I then ran Macrium tools (boot problems and redeploy) and everything started working.
Hopefully others won't have this issue, but if so, you can use ViBoot to show you how to properly configure your VM.
