Description of problem: P2V does not work with a Windows guest Actual results: N/A Expected results: To be able to boot an iso or otherwise and migrate the Windows bare metal instance over to Red Hat Virtualization. Windows 2003 onto Xen would be ideal for a initial availability. V2P function could follow later. This is important for support from 3rd party ISVs Additional info:
Here's the message that we get. Seems like the ntfs driver is simply missing from the Live CD: shwithstatus: mount -o ro '/dev/sda1' /mnt/root mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' partition detection: /dev/sda1 is Unknown
NTFS is supported in Fedora using fuse and ntfs-3g, add them to %packages for this LiveCD
I finally got my MSDN subscription today so at least I can test this now.
JMH points me at the following tool which can do P2V for Windows machines: http://ping.windowsdream.com/
Is this still a problem?

Please use the new virt-p2v/virt-v2v which supports Windows. http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v/
