Migration of windows server 2003

[Sisdyiyy]

Hello,

I successfully migrated a Windows Server 2003 VM from VMware to Proxmox using the import feature. However, when I boot the VM, it immediately displays a blue screen. If I change the disk bus type from SCSI to IDE, the VM boots successfully.

Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, how did you resolve it?

Could it be that the VirtIO driver has not been installed?

When migrating Windows, I think it is common to boot Windows once using IDE, install the VirtIO driver, and then switch to SCSI afterward.

Hii, do you have compatible VirtIO for legacy os like win2003 and win xp?

Generally, legacy operating systems are not supported, but this page might offer some helpful hints.
