Thank's for your answer.

 

So, our current plan is to use vCenter Converter Standanlone along with Fusion 7 in order to achieve the goal as described below.

Can you confirm these two software solutions fulfill all these requirements and will help to achieve the goal?

 

Windows XP SP3 installed on and currently running on physical PC is to be migrated to

Fusion 7 VM. Installed on a SATA HDD. The HDD connects currently to PC via SiS180 motherboard on-board

SATA/RAID controller. It is unclear if currently the driver runs in AHCI mode or in legacy. In any case

the SIS SATA/RAID drivers are installed and in use for this controller.

 

The generated VM must be an exact image of current state (OS + installed SW + all personalizations of OS and SW,

user data on the system partition). That means, the from-scratch installation of Windows XP installation and the software

on new created Fusion VM is not acceptable because this way exact replica is not possible.

Only one acceptable exception: all hw-dependent bits does not need to be exact on source and the destination machine.

The host of resulting VM will be os x 10.9, later 10.10 on a Mac 2013.

 

-) Migration without new installation, neither OS nor all the soft on it

-) Migration must not include the again-and-again hacking

-) All steps of the migration to be carried out manually all well described, all instruction are available

-) All information and needed to complete the mission successfully are available
