Could not start VM after converting .vmdk file to .qcow2 file using vmware vcenter converter.

Advance option by giving F8, When enter using Command prompt by adding one Win 10 iso image, seems there are no other disks is showing apart from CD drive

you should be able to install the virtio drivers from the recovery environment, and then your scsi disk should also be recognized

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. After changing the controllers from SCSCI to IDE HDD Type, i can able to boot the OS from Safe mode with Networking & Command prompt but i could not able to boot the OS in Normal mode. When I try to install QEMU guest agent from safe mode, it fails because windows installer doesn't start in safe mode.

Thanks.

hi
1. changing the controllers from SCSCI to IDE，you can able to boot the os (normal mode),
2. poweroff vm, add a second disk (scsi0), then install the virio-drivers in windows,
3. change ide to scsi and change boot order in settings.
like install xp on prxomox

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

1. Now the HDD type is ide and the controller type is VirtIO SCSI.
2. Powered off VM, after adding second scsi, could not able to install virto-win-guest-tools.exe because the windows installer service would not run on safe mode.

The machine is not starting on normal boot, but it is booting on Safe mode, Safe mode with Command prompt, Safe mode with networking.

When I try to do normal boot, am getting "Windows ran into problem. Stop code asIO exception. " and it automatically restarting automatically.

Thanks.
