Moving Windows 2003 VM from ESX 3.5 to Workstation 10

[agamaaus]

I have copied a windows 2003 vm from esx 3.5 and want to get it to work under workstation 10.

Problems appear to be: 1. it starts but no mouse, etc. 2. try to restart and it won't stop. 3. try to upgrade tools and it won't restart. 4. get error about buslogic scsi problem

5. if power off, then NTLDR is missing when restart.

Would appreciate some advice on the best way to move windows 2003 VM from ESX 3.5 to Workstation 10

regards, Mark

Hello and welcome to the communities.

How did you move it, or what was the process? You might want to give VMware Converter a try, if you haven't.
