There is one particular scenario where you could be faced with this when booting a VM using Hyper-V.

Honestly I was shocked when I read John's recent post about " Are VHDs compatible between Hyper-V

I hope that this compatibility issue can be updated to include the ability to remove the "Integration Components" from any state of Hyper-V virtual machine so it could be installed on a MS Virtual PC (2004-2007) or MS Virtual Server 2005 R2 version; once it gets out of Beta.

As I am on the subject of dream requests, being able to support conversions from Physical to Vitual with a seemless tool like VMware's "Converter" utility would be a lot less painful than the Microsoft route.

Oh and heck, why not ask for a solution only the uterly insane might request, compatibiliy with actual VMware virtual machine files; or perhaps a means to convert VMDK to VHD integrated into the non-Beta version of Hyper-V?

One can always dream.

Even the straight migration back and forth between Virtual PC 2007 and Hyper-V does not really work. I have a MOSS development environment running under Virtual PC 2007 with Office 2007, etc. When I boot it under Hyper-V it tells me the hardware has changed significantly and that I have to re-activate Windows. This is also true of SharePoint Designer 2007 and possibly other Microsoft applications. Having to re-activate the OS and Office apps every time you boot it between VPC2007 and Hyper-V does not seem like a reasonable option to me?

Success!

I made W2003 R2 SP2 Std Edt 32bit VM under Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1, migrated VHD to Hyper-V, installed Integration Services, created new machine, et voila! It worked well.

Then I was asked to move it back to Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1. I've tried with Uninstalation of Intergation services, but didn't work. Then I mounted VHD as drive letter and replaced HAL.DLL with old one. IT WORKS !!!!

Nous voici donc à la troisième étape de notre prise en main d'Hyper-V sur une configuration

I appreciate the article.  I've just posted a recent How-To on the conversion side.  Hope this helps.

Ja det går alldeles utmärkt att boota en VHD fil som du skapat med Virtual PC eller Virtual Server i

Lately it's been very quiet on my blog. There are a couple of things to that. First and foremost there

Any news of coverting from Hyper-V to Virtual Server an Virtual PC? I have developers needing this possibility from time to time? I have heard that converting x86 VHDs with WSS or MOSS (SharePoint) could give problems, any comment's on that one and I would appreciate it?

"I guess that some Linux flavours with appropriate boot switches may be OK, but I’m no expert in this area."

Linux do not use HALs and instead include code for all combinations in the kernel, thus it should always work.
