What is the exact steps to reproduce this issue? I cannot reproduce it with the following steps: 1. Install Windows Recovery Console in 2k3-32b guest via: # With Windows running, insert the Windows CD into your CD drive. # Click Start and clickRun. # Type the following commands (where X: is the CD Drive letter), and then press ENTER on your keyboard. X:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons But v2v and virt-inspector doesnt' consider Recovery Console as a partition: # virt-list-partitions win2003-x86-xen-recovery-console.img --long /dev/sda1 ntfs 6275856384 [root@dhcp-66-92-183 mnt2]# virt-filesystems -a win2003-x86-xen-recovery-console.img --long --uuid Name Type VFS Label Size UUID /dev/sda1 filesystem ntfs - 6275856384 1874360D7435EDDE (In reply to comment #1) > What is the exact steps to reproduce this issue? > I cannot reproduce it with the following steps: > 1.

However I could easily reproduce a bug [probably not the same bug] by creating a Windows guest that had two disks. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674130#c1 for details. This [different] bug has been fixed upstream in libguestfs.

Hi Rich, Thanks for your info. I guess the above bug is similar with Bug 679354 - Error converting Windows guest with 2 'Program Files' folders, which I can also simply reproduce. Is it possible that the multiboot error is caused by both partitions have Program Files, but not Windows Recovery Console? Since the original reporter has the compounded env in the guest, and I noticed his saying: 'Ok, I had the same problem with a completely separate VM. This one was originally built on the ESX host, and the Recovery Console was never installed on it. There are two separate vmdk files representing two separate hard disks. I get the same problem with virt-v2v thinking this is a multi-OS vm' from https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2011-January/msg00118.html Linglu (In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #2) > > > I also could not reproduce this bug with the Windows > > Recovery Console. > > > > However I could easily reproduce a bug [probably not the > > same bug] by creating a Windows guest that had two disks. > > > > See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674130#c1 > > for details. > > > > This [different] bug has been fixed upstream in libguestfs. > > Hi Rich, > > Thanks for your info. > > I guess the above bug is similar with Bug 679354 - Error converting Windows > guest with 2 'Program Files' folders, which I can also simply reproduce. Yes, that's exactly the bug I was searching for :-) The bug dependencies here are really messed up ... > Is it possible that the multiboot error is caused by both partitions have > Program Files, but not Windows Recovery Console? Since the original reporter > has the compounded env in the guest, and I noticed his saying: I don't think the original reporter managed to reproduce the bug with the Windows Recovery Console, and I could not reproduce it either. However the "2 x Program Files" bug is definitely there, reproducible, and fixed. > 'Ok, I had the same problem with a completely separate VM.

If you look at Kenny's later reply: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2011-January/msg00120.html it may be that he had a guest which had the Windows Recovery Console installed AND had two disks, in which case it wouldn't be the WRC which was the problem. I haven't heard back if this is the case or not. Verify this issue with : virt-v2v-0.8.3-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.4-5.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-1.7.17-26.el6.x86_64 I cannot reproduce this issue with Windows Recovery Console installed on guest. Per all comments,I have tested two scenarios: 1.The guest has two windows partitions,and then convert it. # virt-v2v -ic qemu+ssh://10.66.72.122/system -os default -b rhevm winxp-win2k3 winxp-win2k3.img: 100% [===============================================================================================]D 0h05m37s *** Dual- or multi-boot operating system detected. Choose the root filesystem that contains the main operating system from the list below: [1] /dev/sda1 (Microsoft Windows XP) [2] /dev/sda5 (Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2) Enter number between 1 and 2: 1 virt-v2v: WARNING: There is no virtio net driver available in the directory specified for this version of Windows. The guest will be configured with a rtl8139 network adapter, but no driver will be installed for it. If the rtl8139 driver is not already installed in the guest, you must install it manually after conversion. virt-v2v: winxp-win2k3 configured with virtio storage only. Boot it from Windows XP successfully. I also tested convert windows 2k3 R2,it also works well. 2.The guest had a second drive with "Program files" directory on it. ## virt-v2v -ic qemu+ssh://10.66.72.122/system -os default -b rhevm winxp-64-withtwo-PF WinXP-64bit.img: 100% [================================================================================================]D 0h02m36s two-program-files: 100% [==============================================================================================]D 0h00m30s virt-v2v: WARNING: The connected hypervisor does not support feature pae. virt-v2v: winxp-64-withtwo-PF configured with virtio drivers. Boot it successfully. So change the bug status to VERIFIED. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
