[Xen-users] Physical Windows HDD Install to Xen DomU Disk Image

["Wardzinski, Todd" <todd.wardzinski@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

I have tried a number of methods found through various sites on the Internet to get a physical windows install converted to a Xen DomU disk image.  Such as:

 

1.       DomU disk image creation (formatted as ntfs).  We then mounted the disk image (loop) and directly copied the physical mount image data to the disk image.

2.       Qemu-img convert from physical HDD to VHD.

3.       XenConvert (from Citrix) to VHD

 

So far I have not had luck in getting any of these to produce a good copy.  Does anyone have any good references for this problem?  Possibly a method that works time and time again?

 

Please let me know if you have any questions?

 

 

Thanks,

Todd
