VHD boot failure - how to change from PERC3 to IDE?

I had a PowerEdge 2400 with a PERC3 RAID controller and 6 hard drives in a RAID-5 array that I need to convert to a Hyper-V virutal machine.
It's running Windows Server 2003 and I'm trying to use Microsoft's DISK2VHD tool, which has worked mulitple times for me in the past, but only when the primary hard drive controller is IDE.  The actual conversion of the physical disk to a VHD worked just
fine, but it would not boot into Hyper-V (2008 R2 or 2012 version).  Sometimes it gives be the BSOD with 07B inaccessible boot device error.  Other times it just reboots over and over again.  I've tried configuring the VM to connect the VHD
to either the IDE or the SCSI controller, but it failed with both.
I'm pretty certain the problem lies with the fact that Windows on the VHD is configured for a PERC3 driver and there is no PERC3 controller in Hyper-V.
Unfortunately, I do not have the PE2400 any more, so any options involving installing a cheap IDE card or taking a new disk image can't happen.  All i have is the VHD, which i can attach and access the contents of the hard drive.  How can i fix
the Windows installation in the VHD so it will attempt to boot up as if connected to an IDE controller?  
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Additional, please notice the Hyper-V server supported guest system version, such as the Server 2008 platform support specified guest system version as the following KB:
About Virtual Machines and Guest Operating Systems
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc794868(WS.10).aspx
Disk2vhd runs Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and higher, including x64 systems.
And the following action is often easy forgotten:
Note: do not attach to VHDs on the same system on which you created them if you plan on booting from them. If you do so, Windows will assign the VHD a new disk signature to
avoid a collision with the signature of the VHD’s source disk. Windows references disks in the boot configuration database (BCD) by disk signature, so when that happens Windows booted in a VM will fail to locate the boot disk.
Quote from:
Disk2vhd v2.01
Hope this helps.

  • How to change from Photoshop CC to Photoshop Photography Program?

    Is it possible for me to do this change? I don't mind to get tied for another year.
    Please let me know. Thanks!
    P/S: I saw some support staff has been helping to cancel the subscription for Photoshop CC and allow them to subscribe the Photography Program, can I have the same treatment as well? Thanks!

    Well it’s not easy it seems. Some got help in two minutes others, like us, nothing?????
    Perhaps it only works in the USA not in Europe?

  • Satellite C660 - How to change from 32 bit to 64 bit operating system?

    Can some one please tell me how to change from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system for my Toshiba Satellite C660 Notebook?
    No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
    I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
    Thanks in advance

    >No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
    In user manual you could find a info that recovery disk needs to be created using preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Media (disk) Creator
    >I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
    The Toshiba image of some notebook models contains the Win 7 32bit and 64bit system.
    Not sure if your image supports both versions so cannot say for sure if you would be able to switch to 64bit but try this:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    During HDD recovery procedure you should be asked what version you want to chooseof course if both versions would be available so check thisotherwise you will need to purchase an 64bit version.

  • How to change from SLIM to KDM?

    Hello,
    I'm using the MATE desktop, OpenBox as window manager and SLIM for login.
    I'm starting to feel tired of not being able to change between various desktops without closing the main one, I mean, with OpenSUSE Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 are terminal ttys (it is so with Arch+SLIM too), Ctrl+Alt+F7 to F12 are graphical ttys, you can change between any of them and log in as any user you want without closing the F7 tty, or closing it, or doing whatever you want. This was petty cool in order to kill some broken task that hanged the screen or in order to do whatever.
    May I don't know how to do it with SLIM, but anytime I do Crtl+Alt+F9, for example, I just got a blank screen with an hyphen blinking. With OpenSUSE I got a graphical login screen.
    More:
    I've got installed OpenBox, MATE and enlightenment. It is suppose me to be able to change between them pressing F1, and in fact SLIM changes where says "session: XXXX" between them at the login screen, but whatever I choose SLIM ALWAYS log me in MATE. I've got to change it manually in ~/.xinitrc and logout and login again every time I want to change between sessions. I cannot do it directly at the login screen.
    Sometimes after login out and login in several times SLIM hangs and I have to reboot.
    I think all these problems comes from slim, and since with OpenSUSE, that use kdm, I had no problem I want to try kdm as login manager, but I haven't seen any guide to do it if you've got a login manager already installed. I've seen it just if it is the first system installatio. And I'm a little scared of breaking my login and spend too much time fixing it.
    How can I change from SLIM to KDM without pain?

    WOW, I had to install kdebase-workspace and it installed as dependency a functional kde system . And... I was able to choose between all the other desktops but MATE, so... kdm and all that it installed with it's already uninstalled
    But with kdm I was able to open an enlightenment session in tty 8 without closing kde in tty 7...
    ewaller wrote:Install kdm.
    Disable the slim service using systemctl
    Enable the kdm service using systemctl
    No need to uninstall slim.  Hang on to it until everything is working
    Thank you ewaller, it worked perfectly
    Scimmia wrote:Well changing to kdm is as simple as using systemctl to disable slim and enable kdm.That won't get you graphical logins on tty8+, though.
    So, how can I do it with slim?
    Raynman wrote:Do you really need a GUI to kill a program?
    No, I don't, it was just an example.
    Sounds like your xinitrc isn't quite right, check the wiki page for slim.
    I'm tired of reviewing my xinitrc in order to make slim let me choose my desktop. I think the F1 to change the session is experimental. I will open other thread in order to get some help or in order to help SLIM to solve this problem.
    And you could try LightDM instead (because KDM probably pulls in some KDE crap). It comes with dm-tool (and a replacement for gdmflexiserver) to start a new session on another tty.
    Sounds good. I'll try to make slim work perfectly and if I don't get it to work as perfectly I want I'll try other login managers.

    How to change to 32 bit?

    hi
    also from licence perspective it is not allowed. if machine comes with a win7 x64 OEM licence you are not allowed to install win 7 32 bit. (it also should not be possible with the key provided on the licence sticker)
    Only if you buy a full version you can choose (NOT OEM!), within the Retail! Version normaly both (32 and 64 bit) DVD's are included but you only allowed to install only one Version on one PC (32 OR 64 Bit) ...if you buy OEM (only allowed with new PC or HDD) you have to buy 32 Bit OR 64 Bit Version. (also no installsupport included in the OEM Versions)
    So from this point of view... you have to buy a full retail version of windows 7 or a new hdd with an 32 Bit OEM WIN7 in order to do not have licence issues.
    (OEM versions are always cheaper)

  • How to change from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Server

    Hello everyone? I have a Mac Pro Late 2013 with Mac OS X v10.9.4. I want to change from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Server v10.9.4. Is it possible?

    If an enterprise mail server is a requirement, then I'd generally recommend installing Windows Server, with Active Directory and Exchange Server, Sharepoint server and related features.  Not OS X Server.
    OS X Server includes the Postfix and Dovecot packages and related tools, and which are common Unix servers used for mail.
    If you want to run the integrated mail server within OS X Server, you'll need both private (assuming a NAT'd network) and public DNS services must be entirely correctly configured — other mail servers will use any of your DNS configuration errors as a reason not to accept mail from your server, and potentially as a reason not to send mail to your server — and you'll need static IP from your ISP, and a decent-grade firewall, and preferably a firewall with an embedded VPN server and with DMZ capabilities configured to keep any server breaches contained and separate from your inner network.  Your firewall will usually need to have TCP port 25, TCP 587, and either TCP/UDP 995 or preferably TCP 993 open, and forwarded through; the appropriate ports for whatever services you're using. 
    You'll generally not want to have your internal, private, NAT'd network DNS servers accessible to and serving translation publicly.
    Or yes, Kerio does quite well, and is definitely a step or two up from the standard mail software in OS X Server — though nowhere near what Exchange Server and Active Directory and the rest can provide for a typical enterprise.
    As for many of the questions that can arise when configuring OS X Server via Server.app for DNS and mail, please see the help within Server.app.
