I've tried this twice now with no luck:
- existing, running Server 2003 SBS on vmware server 1.07 host
- shut down guest OS, clean shutdown
- copy VM to new host hardware running vmware server 1.08
- edit to set CD-ROM to .iso of SBS 2003 DVD (all discs in one .iso)
- start guest (create new identifier)
- Windows wants to activate due to new hardware, choose OK, and it sits at the blue background screen, never comes up
- restart, boot to ISO
- Start Windows repair install, it finds the existing installation to repair
- at modem.sys (1% into file copy), it hangs. I have solid CD access, and no HD access
I've been watching it for 20 minutes and it's still stuck on this one file. Is this a problem with the ISO or the procedure?
I've tried this 2 times now and it seems to hang up at the same point. PLease help!!!
