EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Thanks guys - after further testing I can report that: - I need a new install from winXP medium to a new proxmox disk in order to get rid of the operating system not found. - From there either a copy of the old install either via linux...

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.As foreseen by _gabriel the famous bluescreen could be fixed by a winxp-sp3 repair install over it after applying the wim file. Now the only thing to find out remaining is howto avoid the setup to need re-activation. And yes, I tried to use...

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.I didnt as I beleived you that rsync is not the way to go thus now following the wim way you proposed. For reference - as it might help somebody in the future here is what I have done so far: added the winxp source disk and the winxp...

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Making progress. At least it started booting and then bluescreened, so my next try is to attach both disks - the source and the empty but created by proxmox one to a running win10 guest and use wim as soon as I learned howto do it :)

wrong, "wim" capture isn't imaging / sector-based , it's file-based, like rsync. "wim" can be restorerd over existing data, without deleting others folders already present. You can't copy Windows system with rsync. That's why "wim" exist. it's...

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Hello Gabriel, but this is a imaging thing, which I already did with clonezilla with the same result even fixing the mbr afterwards by winxp cd didnt help, so my assumption is that the disk created by vmware is problematic while a disk created...

There isn't universal procedure. Stop at "Booting from Harddisk" looks like missing active/boot flag partition or boot sector or broken table partition. I can try myself if you PM me.

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.what a stubborn donkey this setup is. Well I tried now with a newly created disk within proxmox instead of importing or configuring the disk I got from esx - either by converting it from vmdx, or by import wizard or by restoring it from...

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Re-install besides the original setup changed the boot message: It now reads: Booting from Harddisk... then nothing more following.

As @alexskysilk said, Have you tried, with hdd as ide, booting from xp iso to install over existing ? it's often required for pre Windows Vista

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.I did firstly tried with fixmbr - you mean install over it, will do this right now as next step. Thanks Reinstall as repair option didn't help, as it resulted in the same error; next step. Complete new install on the disk/pve guest. I will first...

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Will try to install from scratch on the pve guest to see if it boots, but how could I get the setup from the esx server disk - is there a way with dd somehow?

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Tried with WinXP iso - booted and issued fixmbr, but still getting message: error at loading operating system.

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Hi MarkusKo, as mentioned in the opening post, I also tried with two different versions of mergeide.reg even with the one exact version you added a link for without success. I also read through advanced migration techniques and pretty much tried...

EElleni replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.done - although as written above from win7 onwards I had not problems at all to port windows vms to proxmox. Those last two winxp I have to make available still giving me some headache but I ll try and report back.
