Hello,

I have tried doing that with Windows 2000 Server and it failed every single time. I tried just about everything from registry modifications to repairing using the CD. Windows 2003 Server worked perfectly right away. I haven't tried Windows 2008 but if we suppose Microsoft improves, it should work but that's not so sure.

Can you post your configuration so we can look ?

Do you get blue screen ? Does it not recognize the DVD and HD ?

Question:
I need to reuse a 50 GB image with Windows 2008 installed. But when I create
a new XEN machine and boot, it fails. I imagined that, and that is why I
also have the Windows DVD attached, but it never boots from it. How can I
reuse my image? I also set up the Windows CD as first unit, hoping that it
would boot from it, but I get the same error.
The image comes from VirtualBox, but I can also use Acronis and export the
image to a flat file.
Yours
Federico
