[libvirt-users] Migrate Win2k3 to KVM

[Jeff Tchang]

- What format is the image is?
- Can you post an XML file of the VM config?

Changing the driver to VirtIO via registry edits may exacerbate the
problem. I've never done this but wouldn't it make sense to stick to the
more supported IDE drive emulation until you get it booted and thus remove
possible variables of it not booting?

Are you able to boot the image any other way?
