Hello,
I'm working on a customer to convert his physical servers to vSphere 5.5 infrastructure.
I'm using converter 5.5 and have problems P2Ving one windows 2003 server with system disk with 2 partitions (C and E).
Physical Server
Disk 2: system disk with 2 partitions (C:, E: )
Vmware Converter
I have converted in following way:
Partition C:, G:, F: together
Partition E: standalone (converter 5.5 doesn’t support conversion of multiple partitions on the same disk).
Result is I have one virtual machine with 3 vmdk (disks C, G, F) and another “fake” virtual machine with only one vmdk (disk E).
I have moved the disk E vmdk to the folder of the “real” vm and added it to the virtual machine.
Boot.ini file is as following:
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Standard" /fastdetect
When I boot the virtual machine, I see the boot.ini menu, but the system doesn’t start and loop forever to boot menu.
Can anyone help me ?
thanks in advance
Best regards
Davide
