If the subject line doesn't scare you then maybe you can help me out with this one. Windows 2000 is its own punishment at this point, but it's part of the mission in this case.
I have a working Windows 2000 server running on VMWare esxi. I downloaded the image as a vmdk file and attempted to import it into my Linux system as a KVM image. It mostly works.
I did this successfully with 2 other machines that were Windows 2012R2 from the same source and same destination. Those work.
W2k is having issues because it has C: E: and F: but only C: is recognized when I boot it up in the new environment. It shows that E: exists but it believes that it is corrupted.
There are probably some parameters that I don't know about that I need to pass in order to make this work.
The general process was download the vmdk image, use "qemu-img convert" to make a raw file and then try to boot that. I tried using virt-install and I tried some other manual config methods but this is as far as I have been able to get.
Does anyone here have experience with this sort of scenario?
