Windows doesn't like to see different hardware and unless prepped carefully (mainly video and mass storage drivers) before hand you will not be able to boot.

Subject: [Xen-users] Migrate a Physical Windows to a XEN VM

> I´ve migrated a physical Windows XP, using a tutorial that i found on the web.
> I used the vmware converter and then converted the obtained vmdk with qemu-img.
> The problem is that it wont boot, i´ll always get the option menu (to boot with the "last kown good configuration", Safe, etc) and then a blank screen no matter what i choose.
> Do i have to do something in the windows installation, previous to the convertion?
>
> Thank you all
