Disk2VHD and Hyper-V

  • 772

I want to virtualize a physical machine and I used Disk2Vhd to convert the Hard drive to a .vhd file.

My issue is that when I attach this vhd in Hyper-V, and try to install

"Integration Services", I get the message "HAL Upgrade Required",

and after sometime,

"You must restart your system before Hyper-V Integration services can be installed. Do you want to restart now"

The problem is that these steps get repeated again and again and I am never able to install the Integration services.

Addition Info:

Server: Windows 2008 R2
Guest Machine: Windows 2003 Server with SP2

Any suggestions??

Thanks

    After going through forums.. finally found the solution. (the link is here )

    When you start the VM under Hyper-V, you get a Multi-Boot option, 

    Disk2Vhd Windows Server 2003 Standard
Windows Server 2003 Standard

    You must boot the system with Windows Server 2003 Standard and not with Disk2Vhd one.. Thanks to the guy who found out!!! - I wasted almost a week on this, glad that it's finally working
