<div>Hi Joe,<br>
<br>
Indeed. My SQLServer 2K instances are running fine and I'm able to
snaphot live. <br>
The main issue was with the IIS6.0/ASP2.0 instances. I had very
hard time trying to understand the root cause, it took 3 weeks of
long pain by testing any combination.<br>

<div>Were you running any specific services on Windows
to cause this (such as Exchange or SQL Server)? I've never run
into this issue myself, although the Windows instances I've
run were more for desktop-related tasks.</div>

<div>Indeed.<br>
FYI, I had various issues with Windows 2003R2 over KVM
(libvirtified). The most painful one was the fact that
for some reason, my Windows dlls were corrupt and
Windows was crashing after 6h or 12h running.<br>
<br>
After a hard period, I found why : when you perform a
snapshot, it's very important to make sure the disks
are synced, which is *not the case* with the default
virtio driver settings. As a result, when trying to
hot snapshot a Windows instance, the image was
corrupt.<br>
<br>
The only solution I found was to either stop the
instance and do the snapshot; or disable the
writecache in Windows.<br>

Success!!!! I have launched my Windows

<div>Just 1 more quick question. When I
am VNC'ing into the image to install
windows onto the volume, it is trying to
boot from the actual volume, then
network, then floppy. It never launches
the ISO. Since there is no OS installed
yet on the volume, there is no bootable
disc. Is there a way of making it
launch the ISO and start the
installation? </div>
