How to convert from SCSI VM disk to IDE?

[admin]

I have a customer who's VMs all use SCSI disks.

He has a new application that he wants to install that does not support SCSI, but IDE.

He doesn't want to build the VMs from scratch but would rather find a solution to

convert his SCSI disks to IDE disks.

Does anyone have such a tool?

Converting the disk from scsi to ide is trivial - patching the OS so that it boots from ide is not

Hi,

So is there a document somewhere that describes how to do this procedure?

Thank You

Search MS forums, KB, on moving Windows from SCSI to IDE hardware.

There was one with lengthy reg file injection, prior to the migration.

I would just add second disk as IDE, to your existing Windows setup, to make sure it is supported after you move.

As I already mentioned - it is trivial - post a scsi-vmdk and I'll show you
