I needed to expand my Windows 2008 R2 server with extra HDD data. I had an ISO available with VIOSTOR drivers (Virtio Storage) and autodetected the drivers. How could I be so stupid.
after reboot: BSOD and BSOD and stupid as I was I was unable to go back to ‘last good known configuration’.
first of all I had to pick the drivers for Windows 2008 from this location: ISO/viostor/2k8/(R2 if you have it)/amd64/viostor.*
To stop the BSOD from happening:
Find the viostor drivers (probably):
Windows/System32/drivers/viostor.sysWindows/DriverStore/FileRepository/viostor.inf_amd64_neutral_b5a4b523b42ac3b3/viostor.sys
Windows/DriverStore/FileRepository/viostor.inf_amd64_neutral_e322cb56cfbcc209/viostor.sys
Windows/LastGood/system32/DRIVERS/viostor.sys
Rename Windows/System32/drivers/viostor.sys to System32/drivers/disabled.viostor.sys.disabled;
Similarly renamed both Windows/DriverStore/FileRepository/viostor.inf_amd64_neutral_b5a4b523b42ac3b3/viostor.sysand Windows/DriverStore/FileRepository/viostor.inf_amd64_neutral_e322cb56cfbcc209/viostor.systo disabled.viostor.sys.disabled
Then reboot.
Please be noticed that it can cost you a NEW license if you add this driver. Your hardware can be changed and it could be that Microsoft does not allow your key anymore.
