P2V Windows 2000 machine with SCSI drive to Hyper-V

[Mark_Valpreda]

I typically use Symantec System Recovery to do P2V of older machines and had a very high success rate, but this one is getting the best of me.

Clone/white box
Windows 2000 SP4
1GB RAM
Symbios SCSI adapter
Single 36GB drive - there are bad sectors
Only reason I need to keep the machine is for the old security controller software - vendor is MIA

When I use SSR 8.5.7 I get what seems to be a good image, but the resulting VM won't start. It says "Inaccessible boot device". I thought SSR put in the correct drivers, but I think I have always done IDE drives in the past which might be more forgiving. Tried using SSR P2V with and without the mini setup, both yield the "Inaccessible boot device".

Is there something else I can use to do a P2V? Or maybe something else I can do with SSR? I am certainly open to suggestions as I want to get rid of this machine ASAP.

First, open Recovery Point Browser and ensure that the image file will VERIFY. If yes, then create a new VM in Hyper-V, then restore the image file (recovery point) into that VM's virtual hard drive. You can use the RestoreAnyware option.
