Re: [Xen-users] Windows 2000 DomU

["Antoine Benkemoun" <antoine@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, I tried to do the repair as indicated on the Microsoft website but that only led me to another BSOD that says something along the lines of "Trying to write in read-only memory"

I tried to use repair from the CD but that didn't help at all.

Win2000 boots outside of Xen... so if anybody has an idea, I'd be interested.

Thanks !

It will basically replace/reinstall Windows components (including IDE drivers) and so.
It does nothing to the filesystem itself nor other applications. If you are afraid of
something terrible happening to your data just copy the VM image and have a try.

Ah, the repairing process leaves your Windows outdated, remember to Windows Update
after doing it.

Hm... the systems I will be migrating are production web servers. I don't
know if using the repair function won't damage anything.

Do you know what that repair function does ?

I also had that problem. A workaround that fixed was repairing from the
Windows 2000
CD, then it went all just fine.

 I am doing tests to convert old rotting servers into a big shiny new Xen

things aren't so great...

I made an image from the disk that worked in a machine. Then I boot on
this image using Xen. Windows 2000 starts to boot up then give me a BSOD
stating UNACESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

Has anybody encountered this error before ?

Thank you in advance for your help,



Were you using an IDE disk on the original machine?  There is a problem
moving 2000/XP system disks between computers when the IDE devices are
different.  You can fix this by importing some additional registry keys
before moving the drive or taking the image:

Windows 2000: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822052/en-us
Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082

Alternatively I don't know if you can change the IDE device that Xen
will emulate to match the source hardware.
