The registry entries and making sure atapi.sys intelide.sys etc. are present isn't enough. I still get blue-screen-of-death, and it reboots over and over. The vm runs on ESX server 3.5.0, the proxmox server is 2.2. Any suggestions?
 
Yes, I just downloaded the vmdk from the vmware datastore. I tried it with and without the xp 'os preparation' procedure (which worked flawlessly on all xp vm's). The BSOD / behaviour I'm getting now is exactly what happens when you DONT to that preparation procedure on XP vms, so I feel like I'm looking for a win7 version of that procedure..

I have. There's what looks like a small recovery partition at the front of the disk. When I boot from the disk it starts the recovery process. At one point it asked for my admin login/password, and authenticated it, so it must be reading the disk.. It thinks for a long time (8-10 mins), then says it can not automatically repair the system.

I also booted from a windows 7 dvd (iso in the virtual dvdrom) and start the recovery process from there. It finds my windows installation on the D: drive (should be c:), thinks for a very short time (<15 seconds) and states it can't repair the installation.
