[libvirt-users] Migrate Win2k3 to KVM

Sat Jul 11 16:31:30 UTC 2015

I agree with Pierre.

Basically the image you have from CloneZilla has lots of settings inside it
that tell the image itself where the boot drive is.
The way I've done it in the past is to mount the image using whatever
filesystem it uses (NTFS in this case). Make sure it is writable. And then
start mucking around with the boot settings of the Windows image.

I don't know if Windows 2013 still uses boot.ini but that is one source.
You need to try and change the default system disk on the image. One other
way you can do it is possibly by booting the Windows 2013 rescue disk and
using command line utilities. This may or may not work. If it does let me
know.

Something like this:
