Including a floppy image into VM

[liquid]

Hello,

i tried to import a w2k3 server from virtualbox to proxmox ve.
Everytime i started the vm i got a bluescreen (tried different configurations).

Now i want to restore the vm over a w2k3 cdrom from a automatic backup file.
For this i need to include a floppydisk image into the vm.

How can i do this? In this case, google is not my friend ;-(

Best regards

did you tried to use the clonezilla method, how did you import? did you applied the mergeide.reg before?

Hello Tom,

i took the vmdk image from virtualbox 3.2., included it into the vm and started the vm.
And i tried it to make an image with vmware converter and include the vmdk image into the vm.

Both methods did not work.

I hear the first time of mergeide.reg. Maybe it can solve my problem.

But do you know how to include a floppydisk image?

Thanks

hello,

to add a floppy img :

1/ get the process kvm vm command line
exemple: qm showcmd 107

2/ stop your vm

3/ copy and past command found in 1/ and add parameters :
"-drive file=/path/to/floppy.vdf,if=floppy,index=0"

it's boot your vm with floppy.vfd img attached to it
