Another possibility would be installing Windows 2000 on Xen
instead of migrating it, then doing a backup on the real machine and
restore on the xen machine, my understanding is that the system
state portion of the backup will leave drivers alone so you can
restore to another system. I have seen this suggested as a way to
migrate to other virtual scenarios, so I would think it would work
here as well. You might want to do a web search on migration and/or
system state backups to find a good list of steps, and an install
followed by a backup and restore might then be as fast as a making
an image and then doing a repair (and perhaps cleaner to boot).
It is also possible that you have Windows 2000 on SATA or
SCSI with SCSI drivers, in which case you would need to change your
boot.ini similar to the following:
Before: scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)
After: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)
This change alone may not resolve your issue, though, because the
drivers still might not match up, but it would be worth checking
your boot.ini and if it has scsi, trying that before the more in
depth suggestions from myself and others.
