[Xen-devel] Booting the same disk in a VM and on native hardware
Hi Folks, I am trying to boot a VM which uses a separate hard disk as VM''s disk. The disk has Windows 7 (or Vista) 64 bit on it. The OS was installed on the disk while running on native hardware. the disk is a SATA disk. The VM doesn''t boot. It blue screens in the very early stage of the boot. I am using Xen 3.4.2-rc1-pre version Could someone please tell me if it is a supported feature on Xen? If yes, how to get it to work. Thanks, Sanjay _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Yes, I think you need to load the intelide.sys driver. It probably bluescreen with a 0x7b which mean "unable to detect boot device". There is a registry key somewhere to force the driver to be loaded at boot time.
