Registry patch file for the Microsoft Virtual Server SCSI drivers

[MicrodigitUK]

Ok what I am trying to do is port a Windows 2000 Server from one hardware set to a virtual machine.

For this I have used Ghost and Microsoft Virtual PC so far and this worked fine by using support.microsoft.com/kb/314082 and support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811408 to get the IDE drivers into the offline Ghost Image (and changed the HAL but that’s not the problem).

I would like to take advantage of the faster virtual SCSI support of Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 but there are no Microsoft Tech documents to load the Microsoft Virtual Server SCSI drivers into an offline Ghost image (e.g. the server is not yet booted into windows).

I know I need to make a registry patch file for the Microsoft Virtual Server SCSI drivers “msvmscsi.sys” but looking at support.microsoft.com/kb/314082 I have no idea where to start.

Any pointers in the direction would be much appreciated?

Well I take it no one on here has done it before, so it looks like I’m going to have to figure it out myself.

Ok made my own reg patch in the end and looks to have worked! No problems so far!!!
