Hello all,
I have an elderly windows server, running 2000 server that I would like to virtualize. It has 2 scsi disks, multiple partitions across those two disks, and a usb drive I'd prefer to have as a virtual device as well.
Can I use clonezilla to create images of these disks, create an appropriate virtual machine with the right number/size of disks, and use clonezilla to "restore" to that now virtual device?
Or is there some easier way that I don't know about being a N00b and all?
I'm worried about making the virtual device as close to identical as possible, as it is still accessed by users looking up data in quite a few scanned documents. Thus the clonezilla. It's also an AD controller.
