Migrate Server 2003 on VMware to XEN (on Debian) (Work in Progress)

Long story short, I'm migrating all my VMware virtual server to XEN on a Debian (8 "Jessie") server. 

Requirements

• • Disk2vhd : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx

  • Debian Server 

    • with Xen configured

    • and virtualbox installed (we'll needs one of it's utils)

  • 2003 server you want to migrate

  • Some share to save the image to (SMB on another server, mount NFS share, 

  • Copies of the Fallowing files 

    • atapi.sys => (sp2.cab)

    • pciide.sys => (driver.cab)

    • pciidex.sys => (sp2.cab)

    • intelide.sys  => (sp2.cab)

    • Insert Drivers.reg => 

      • • • • Insert Drivers.reg

              • • Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    • (optional) Xen Windows Drivers => http://wiki.univention.com/index.php?title=Installing-signed-GPLPV-drivers

• 1. Backup the Old 2003 Server using Disk2vhd

     • Check "Use VHDX" only if your image is goinf to be over 150 Gigs

     • Checking "Prepare for use in Virtual PC" won't hurt anything as it just adds in some extra drivers for Hyper-V & Virtual PC (none of which will be useful for us)
