Hi, Before you begin, prepare the running w2k to use ide disk (and boot on KVM with ide disks) For w2k I followed this link (solution 2 worked for me): http://www.motherboard.windowsreinstall.com/problems.htm And I am using clonezilla live cd´s to do cloning jobs, for me this is a fast and convenient way. Also, take a look on our http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE, including some hints for several sceanrios.
