@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.

@Dashrender A weird thing i see is that my "System Reserved" disk is getting assigned a letter by default.

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.

Sorry for the long one. But i got 14 images of this...
-
@Lennertgenbr Gonna get some sleep now.
I'll check back in when i wake up -

Try disabling these.

@Dashrender disabled them, rebooted but the same BSOD.
I'm going to inform myself about the previous P2V. I'm guessing yes, but I inherited the environment so I can't be sure.Are the megasas and megasr keys something to disable aswel?
-
@Lennertgenbr Discussed with the boss and it is possible that this machine has gone through a P2V previously.
I saw in the config of the hyper-v that my 2nd disk is linked to a SATA controller. Is this a problem for xen?

Shouldn't be - when you are booted from the ISO, can you see both disks? If yes, then not a problem for XenServer.

@Dashrender In disk part i can see all my disks

Are they mounted? do they have drive letters? if yes, you can change to them and look around at your files - if you see them, then XenServer definitely does not have a problem.
-
On your running Hyper-V VM, you need to find which services are running your storage, then find those in the XS VM and disable them. I had some that were conflicting, which was stopping my system from booting.

@Dashrender Easily found by looking at the used drivers on my storage disks I presume
