      Starwind also has a conversion tool specifically for V2V conversions.

        @DustinB3403 By hyper-v drivers, do you mean the integration services? Or explicit hyper-v drivers?

        The drivers explicitly.

          How in the world would i go about that?

            I'm going to give the starwind tool a try. I don't see a native option to export for xenserver but we'll see how far we get

              @Lennertgenbr Is it capable of doing live converts?

                Here is my thread on this very problem when P2Ving to XS v7.

                  It primarily involved changing these registry keys

                  hklm\loaded hive\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\Intelide\Start = 0
                  hklm\loaded hive\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\pciide\Start = 3

                  Boot to windows 2008 R2 ISO, load the registry key, make changes, unload registry, reboot.

                    @Dashrender I can't load a hive when i open the regedit from the cli booted from the installer. Is it normal or do i just edit the cd's registry?

                      @Lennertgenbr NVM i found it. But i'm moving away from hyper-v. Is it possible i should change the other way arround?

                      Because i found the settings to be already as you described

                        I was also moving away from bare metal and to XenServer. So no, those settings should be what you need.

                        I also had to disable the HP RAID controller services. Since you are coming from Hyper-V, I'd do google research looking for what storage drivers are installed by Hyper-V (when you install the Hyper-V integration drivers), then look through the loaded registry and disable those, then try again booting again.

                            When you are in CLI mode? That's semi normal.

                              The backup i was restoring is a Windows Backup.
                              I have already tried exporting the VM into VHD (the source file is vhdx).

                              The problem i keep receiving is the stop 0X7B which if not mistaking points to the hardware changes

                              Yeah... you'd almost never want to use Windows Backup to move to a different hypervisor.

                              I've done it multiple times Specifically with Server 2008 & SBS 2008. From Hyper-V to VMware, VMWare to Hyper-V, Physical to VMWare, and Physical to Hyper-V.

                              Windows Backups is certainly able to handle this for many. It seems that the only time I have read about fails is with XS.

                                This starwind converter is letting me down.
                                How can a 112GB disk end up in a 512kb disk 😛

                                  You're issue is almost assuredly not image related - but driver related.

                                    Agreed but i can't, for the love of god. Figure out where to find what drivers i need to disable in the reg

                                      Load up the 2008R2 ISO and get into the recovery console, then regedit, load hive, and screen print everything under the key

                                      hklm\loaded hive\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services

                                      and we can try to help you decide what to disable.
