[PVE-User] VM windows 2008 issue.

[Muhammad Yousuf Khan]

ok I followed your suggession, still same black screen. no luck. i followed
the below steps.

1) vmware-vdiskmanager -r vmware-hd.vmdk -t 0 vmware-raw.vmdk
2) copied "vmware-raw.vmdk" to proxmox base in temp folder
3)qemu-img convert vnware-raw.vmdk -O qcow2 proxmox.qcow2
4) finally i attached the proxmox.qcow2 to a VM and hit start but with same
black screen


Thank you,
