While I agree that the situation is troublesome there is no need to
throw out such an install. I did just the SCSI to IDE migration on a
couple of Windows Server 2003 guests successfully.
Here's the memo I just wrote about that:
Situation:
Hardware to be moved from one machine to another and hard disk
controllers differ significantly.
Example:
Moved various servers from ESX 2.5 guests (LSI SCSI Controller) to KVM
guests (Intel 802731SB IDE Controller).
Without preparion the guest's error out with a 0x0000007B blue screen
and only a rescue-installation would be able to rectify that.
Solution:
* Before hardware change: Delete all host-specific relevant hardware in
device manager on old machine [This might even not be needed]
* Before hardware change: Execute the registery file corresponding to
this memo [appended below] and shut the machine down
* Transfer it
* It boots up fine and finds the new hardware
Tested on:
* Win 2003 Server Std SP1
Registry file to reset the disk controller:
