So, I had to find some unconventional solution. However, in this case, several different versions of the converter failed with conversion error. Therefore, I will describe the process of migration to VMWare.Īt the time, I have successfully transferred the Windows XP on VMWare machine using VMWare Converter. In addition, there is VMWare Player - a free version of VMWare Workstation with slightly truncated functionality. I've also tried Virtual PC and VirtualBox, but stopped at VMWare - it seemed most convenient. The benefits of virtual machines are well known - the presence of multiple operating systems (clients) on a single physical computer (host) with simultaneous use of them and the host, network connection between themselves and the physical machines and sharing host's resources, devices and ports. I've been using VMWare Workstation and consider it very good tool. But it may encounter pitfalls, and this article is devoted to the matter how to overcome all of them. And also the installation of a SATA controller drivers using Intel Matrix Storage is still dancing with a tambourine, and not the fact that it will go through.Ģ. Undoubted disadvantage of this option is the need to unload each OS to run another one, and it's provided that drivers for a very old system on modern hardware are found. Create a new logical drive, clone Win2K on it, install a boot manager on Win7 (eg, free EasyBCD), solve the problem of compatibility with the SATA AHCI and other drivers. Migrating Win2K as a second system to the new computer with multiboot. Objective: to get rid of that old computer, retaining the old programs with all their settings.ġ. In addition there is the newly obtained machine with cool i7 processor and pre-installed Windows 7. Their installation disks had been lost long ago, so they cannot be reinstalled on a new operating system, and their compatibility with even WinXP is in doubt. Some ancient and hard-to-get programs are installed on it. Starting position: there is an old computer with Win2K on board.
