Download and install the Vmware vConverterġ1. Once complete, power off the VM, do not restartġ0. Boot the VM, use Acronis to reimage your image file to the VM's IDE drive (see note #3)ĩ. Create temporary VM, with the desired size IDE drive, attach your local physical drive to it that contains your image file, set to boot from the Acronis bootable ISOĨ. Re-image drive to an Acronis *.tib file (see note #2)ħ. Download and install the Acronis 10 Trialĥ. Back at base: Re-image this clone to a new drive, modern hardware is now an option, ie SATA, leave the drive physically attached to your system.Ĥ. Grab a clonezilla image of your desired box, Dell Poweredge 600SC with Windows 2000 Advanced Server in this case, onsite using whatever you took with you, 30Gb IDE drive in this case which was 10Gb smaller than the existing 40Gb drive (mental note, find out what you're walking in to first)Ģ.
#CLONEZILLA ISO IMAGE DOWNLOAD UPDATE#
Well, as an update to the above, it is possible to go from a clonezilla image to a running VMware box, with about a hundred steps.but it worked without having to go onsite again to fight with an old box that didn't want to see new hardware (I could have got away with attaching an internal IDE drive to it if I had one).Īnyway, a shortened version for those that might be interested, of the process I actually went through, followed by the way I'd do it next time if I really can't do a direct live->vm conversionġ.
