Public bug reported: Hello We have converted a parallels windows 2012 R2 image with the command qemu-img convert -p -f parallels -O raw ./TestLibvirt.pvm/TestLibvirtMig-0.hdd/TestLibvirtMig-0.hdd.0.hds /var/lib/libvirt/images/testlibvirtmig.raw
Afterthat we have created a new entry with virtual machine manager and used this raw-hdd file as "import existing disk image" Then we booted this virtual server and we got the error "Booting from Hard Disk" "no Bootable device" Test 1: we also tried to "overwrite" the windows server drive 1. Create a vm with windows 2012 r2 (W2K12R2) with virtual machine manager. Which runs good 2. Then we mounted in the command line the "no bootable device" server as source (raw image) mount /ev/mapper/loop0p4 /mnt/source 3. Then we mounted the new created (W2K12R2) as target (raw image) mount /ev/mapper/loop1p2 /mnt/target 4. with the copy command we have overwritten all files on the windows drive rsync -av --delete /mnt/source/* /mnt/target/ 5. reboot the server and we have a blue screen and it tells me something prl_strg.sys "your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart ...... If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED(prl_strg.sys) Test 2: We also did a qemu-img convert from an ubuntu 14.04 disk and this works perfect.
