        I just looked at an old 2003 server,
        under View > Show Hidden Devices.

          These are the HDD controller settings, nothing special. I could try and take it down to a basic IDE controller, but I don't know how much that's going to help.

            @Coloradogeek I would try the basic controller. The issue is that the system is looking for a raid controller that isn't there.

            So it's worth a shot. Of course have a backup to go back.

              Take that back, just found an LSI logic SCSI controller further down. Never occurred to me to check for it since I didn't ever install one...

                  Can't remove the LSI Logic Parallel. It's what VMware is using to talk to the disk apparently. I did change the IDE stuff to basic, but I can't get rid of the LSI.

                    Did you try/run the XS boot repair ISO?

                      When I moved to XS none of my 2003 servers would boot without running the repair stuff.
