Generate a virtual machine using an older Windows XP system.
Generate a virtual machine using an older Windows XP system.
Hello! I'm trying to build a virtual machine from an older XP(SP3 32bit) disk, and I ran into an issue with VMware vCenter Converter. The error message says it can't create a VSS snapshot of the source volume. I've already managed this on Windows 7, but I'm not sure how to proceed with XP. Any suggestions or alternative approaches would be appreciated. Thanks!
You're using either Disk2vhd on Windows or dd on Linux to create an image, then you'll need to boot from that image to set up the virtual machine.
You're working with Oracle Virtual Box and encountering an issue with Disk2vhd. It appears to require Windows Vista or later, even though you haven't tested it on Windows XP.
Yes, you can connect the HDD from the XP machine to another system and capture an image of it through the appropriate interface.
