Create a VHD from a SCSI disk

   I would think that regardless of the utility. A manual modification of the boot.ini would be required to go from SCSI to IDE. I could be wrong. I've never used the software. If that's the case couldn't you add the VHD as a second drive to a exsisting VM so you can access the boot.ini file?

	Did you add the disk as an IDE disk to the VM? That's required to boot a disk2vhd-created VHD.

	I have a XP SP3 machine that I want to clone to run on Hyper V server. The 73 GB HD is SCSI. After I get the file created with the disktovhd utility, I try to boot the vm through hyper V and I get a bsod with stop error 0x7b. Is what I am doing even possible or do I need to use SCVVM somehow. I am just testing Hyper V right now and really can't make the System Center time or money investment. This is very easy to do on ESX server so ..........
