Hyper V Disk Read Error
Contents |
takes a few minutes. Join Now I have Spiceworks installed on a win7 and want to create a vhd so that it can run on hyper v, on the server. I created a vhd using Disk2vhd and created a new virtual machine in hyper v. As it starts up it gives the error disk2vhd system reserved "A disk read error occurred press ctrl alt delete to restart." The pc is only running Spiceworks and the

if that is ok I would look at taking the image again to rule out corruption. 2 Cayenne OP Keith - Randox Sep 13, 2012 at 11:13 UTC Sounds very much like you havent configured the VM with the right disk controller to match the source physical system. Google your error message and you will find hundreds of posts with similar issues. 1 Thai Pepper OP Brian Thorp Sep 13, 2012 at 11:49 UTC Chestnut Consulting is an IT service provider. I agree with Keith. I do disk2vhd prepare for use in virtual pc option this all the time and generally it will work fine if you put the VHD as IDE. Before you P2V, it is recommended to build a machine on hardware that is as generic as possible (read: no additional drivers) 0 Pimiento OP IT8141 Sep 13, 2012 at 11:59 UTC Its configured in IDE. Did make a 2nd VHD and still the same issue. Ill check on Google if I can find any solutions. 0 Chipotle OP _Tyler Sep 13, 2012 at 12:56 UTC Make sure you are NOT checking the "Prepare for use in a virtual machine" box in the P2V utility before you click create. I found that box a bit mis-leading, it's not for Hyper-V VHDs. 0 Tabasco OP UF IT - Mike Sep 13, 2012 at 2:44 UTC I would not rely on Disk2VHD for anything important. I have tried D2VHD multiple times and it only truly worked about 25% of the time. (especially when it came to DBs but i think we all know why that is) 0 Tabasco OP The Schwartz Sep 13, 2012 at 2:54 UTC Did you select the "System Reserved" partition? Without it the resulting VHD will not boot. 4 Mace OP John White Sep 13, 2012 at 8:52 UTC Careful on the licensing. If you plan to run Win7 from a remote location, you need Software Assurance for the machine you're connecting from. 0 Pimiento OP IT8141 Sep 14, 2012 at 6:37 UTC Thanks Schwartz, turns out I forgot to add the System Reserved partition.. Its up and running now. 2
virtual environment by VMware converter, this post shows you how to do a VirtualBox P2V with Microsoft utility disk2vhd. This method gave few errors and issues after the conversion but I http://www.sysprobs.com/virtualbox-p2v-disk2vhd-errors-fix managed solve it and boot the virtual machine successfully. Let’s see how to solve these possible errors and do VirtualBox P2V with Microsofts's disk2vhd successfully. Unfortunately this method works on Windows Operating Systems only since disk2vhd is from Microsoft.This utility converts the physical hard disk partitions to VHD (Microsoft Virtual Disk) format which can be used on Oracle VirtualBox. Migrating a working disk read physical Windows computer to VirtualBox platform is very easy by this way. Once it has been converted to VHD format, it can be used with VirtualBox which runs on any OS like Linux or Mac OS X.In this example, I converted my physical computer which is having two Operating Systems (Windows 7 and Windows XP), but Windows 7 to VirtualBox P2V.Steps for disk read error VirtualBox P2V with disk2vhd and Fix Errors.1) Download the latest version of disk2vhd (2.01 version)2) Installation is not required, run the program directly.3) It will pick up the physical hard disk partitions from host OS.Important Note: My mistakeBefore go to next step, let's understand something clearly!If you want to convert your entire physical disk (for example 500GB with 5 partition) to VHD, then select the all partitions and start the conversion. This will not cause any issues while attaching the VHD to VirtualBox or Virtual PC, except space issue because the converted VHD file will take the same size as 500GB.But, if you want to P2V only specific Operating System and partitions from physical computer, then you must do it properly to avoid problems later.In this example, I like to convert my working Windows 7 host to VirtualBox. So, I must convert the System and boot partitions which are mostly different.Here is my working Windows 7 physical computer.Initially I have converted only Windows 7 boot partition (normally C drive) to save space and time. I know this is not the system partition with boot recorder
