I had slightly different experience -- it was easier in vSphere 4.1 than both VMware and your article described and I got away with one less power down / Windows restart (only 2 needed). Here's some input from vSphere 4.1, two areas were no longer needed: - didn't need steps 14-17 - no warning, question, etc presented itself for acknowledgement - didn't need steps 19-23 - by default Windows Server 2003 SP3 was all set -- no hidden devices or controller present. I guess the VM Tools / vSphere 4.1 cleans it all up -- or Windows SP3 did it. Also, the options on "CHange Type" have changed, there is a LSI Logics Parallel and LSI Logics SAS controller choices instead of LSI Logics as shown above. I tried the LSI Logics Parallel and it worked like a charge Larry T AKA VMSysProg since 1981 Great article — I’ve done this before so when I saw your link in addition to the VMware article I referred to, I like the approach to add the temporary hard drive at the very start and not risk any boot problems.

LSI did not work in my case (maybe cos of XP OS) but paravirtual did the trick! Thanks a lot Very very nice!!

I had one server that it was not possible to replace the the scsi to LSI (the same kind of your W2K to W2K3), I don't know the real cause because a few other server (also W2k3 upgraded) I changed in the past without any trouble just changing the controller to LSI. However your solution was applied successfully on my trouble 'server guest'. Awesome! I posted my question on vmware a few months ago and I never got an answer. Thanks!!! Great solution!!!
