Unfortunately no help, I've been through that entire Microsoft article. Thanks though.

and that would be swell, except for one teensy little problem.

The repair disk ruins Sharepoint. And it's not a Sharepoint anyone would WANT to run today.

Sharepoint 3.0

Thus the issue.

and no, I can't get into safe mode.

There's nothing special about it. You turn it on, the scroll bar goes one loop, then presto, BSOD.

Yup. Doesn't matter.

The system that it was on long ago was a single HDD in an old HP server. It was converted to VMware, and I'm trying to retire VMware in favor of XenServer since there's no budget for Essentials+ (or better) on VMware.

That being said, the VMware transition was recent with no issues according to documentation. It's only when moving to Xen that it's throwing kittens.

I'm going to try BartPE next, I was using Hirens XP mode to dink around with files and such in the system32 folder, but that's not going to hold a lot of water with me.

Tried them. Same thing. I've even used Starwind's V2V, also the same thing. Server 2003 R2 is XP based so it hates hardware changes. Once upon a time I used to be good with getting the 07b to go away, but I've long since forgotten my tricks.

Is there no blasted way to get around the damned 07b stop error? Since XenServer doesn't have a standard BIOS for a VM, there's no way to change HDD controllers, etc. I'm at my wits end. I even tried to use Unitrends to do a bare metal restore and even THAT didn't work.

I was told to have this system up by today, and as it stands, I have to babysit a VMware 6 server now just to run this fricking VM.

OK, did a comparison between the two hosts - host 2 is showing 0.0 MB in use on the local disk, but Host 1 is saying I'm using 206 MB. I have NO idea what it is, or how to remove it. It's not needed.

Edit - used the steps here by Thomas Bettray to remove the local SR since I don't care about what is on it.

Could it be referring to the Control Domain on host x? I'm not sure I understand what would be running on the local storage other than the local install / dom0

not off hand, but the log is mostly talking about running VMs and a migration I just did - I'll keep looking. I also just realized that during my cleanup operations, I removed only old VM UUIDs and not the associated disks. I'm going to run an lvscan here in a moment and see if that helps.

Trying to do it from the XenCenter software - version 7 is already installed.

I just moved all the VMs on the first host to the second one, and it still states that I have local machines.

I'm trying to get the work servers upgraded, most everything we're running is on either an NFS Share (Isilon) or a FreeNAS appliance, yet the upgrade wizard keeps barking about VMs being on local storage. I've gone through and verified the UUIDs in the console of the affected server, and nothing that is running is on the local disk at all. Everything else that is running already shows those aforementioned network drives.

Should I initiate a host reboot or am I missing another detail that would clear that error?

Weird, I thought I created an account ages ago. In any case, halloooo
